She Oshawa Sines | Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1964---PAGE 6 Shuffled Cabinet Still -- Has Some Weak Spots Prime Minister Pearson has played. musical chairs with his cabinet but has strengthened it in only a couples of places. The elevation of Guy Favreau was expected. Mr. Favreau quickly made a sparkling name for him- self in the ministry of citizenship and immigration, injecting into that moribund department a new sense of energy and purpose. Now, as minister of justice, government house leader, and, obviously, Mr. Pearson's chief lieutenant for Que- bee, his abilities will be fully tested. One wonders, however, if his suc- cessor in citizenship and immigra- tion, Rene Tremblay, can maintain the momentum generated in the department; it is difficult to assess Mr. Tremblay's capabilities, be- cause they have not been on dis- Play. : The move of George Mcllraith from the transport department to the presidency of the Privy Coun- cil and the Treasury Board may be a shrewd one. Mr. Mcliraifh seemed uncomfortable in transport and did not distinguish himself there. But he is a tough-minded, realistic man, with the reputation of being a power in caucus. Under new legislation proposed by Mr. Pearson, Mr. Mec- Ilraith will become president of the Treasury. Board, which will be re- moved from the finance department. He will then have the job of putting into effect some of the recommen- dations of the Glassco Commission-- a very important iob indeed, and one which could give him great prestige and reputation. Into the transport department goes a more subtle parliamentarian, Jack Pickersgill -- probably as good a man as Mr, Pearson could call on to guide tricky new railway and air - transport issues through the Com- mons. Mr. Pickersgill has mellowed and matured; he is Jess the fierce partisan and more the reasonable advocate. Possibly this results from the pressure of minority govern- ment, but he is the better minister for it. " Maurice Sauve and Yvon Dupuis were both slated for recognition aa energetic and capable young mem- bers from Quebec. One wonders, however, why John Nicholson is being removed from the forestry department, in which, as a former professional manager, he was ob- viously at home. The department is to be expanded to cover rural development as well as forestry, of course, and Mr. Sauve may be better acquainted with the problems of rural development; also, the Post Office did not flourish under Azel- lus. Denis and a new, more capable minister such as Mr. Nicholson is needed to give it a boost in adminis- tration and morale. One can wonder, however, about the retention of 'Harry Hayes in agriculture, in the light of the juggling of forestry and rural development. : Mr. Hays has been something less than a roaring success as minister of agriculture; with his penchant for dashing from Ottawa to. take part in cattle auctions, one suspects that he would be something less than a success in any other port- folio. It would seem that rural deve- lopment, presumably an extension of the ARDA program, would fit com- fortably with agriculture -- much more comfortably than will supervi- sion of abandonment of railway branch lines, which surely should be a responsibility of transport. Two other disappointments are left in their posts -- Walter Gordon in finance and Judy LaMarsh in health and welfare. Mr. Pearson may feel that he must give Mr. Gordon a chance to present at least on unhurried, well-prepared budget before yielding to the widespread criticism of his finance minister. But Miss LaMarsh finds herself with somewhat restricted duties. Rather obviously, the Canada Pen- sion Plan negotiations have been taken out of her hands--and little wonder, considering her intemperate intrusion into the Ontario election campaign and her brusque handling of even modergte criticism of the Plan at a time' when it was clearly in need of substantial revision to make it acceptable to the provinces, Johnson Arms Program The Soviet Union may be as cool to President Johnson's five-point disarmament program as the United States was to Premier Khrushchev's earlier call for big-power agreement on this subject. But what is really significant at this stage is not any specific proposal of the two leaders, but the fact that, they are, in effect, trading ideas. There is stil] a large element of propaganda in this trading, of course, but there is also an unex- pressed expectation that somewhere in the trading procedure ideas will begin to mesh. President Johnson proposes that the United States.and the Soviet Union "explore a vertified freeze of the number and characteristics" of strategic nuclear vehicles. In the jargon of the disarmament experts, "a "verified freeze" means an agreed limitation on size and types of weapons, with the agreement to be guaranteed by inspection in the participating countries.

On the other hand, the United States and the Soviet Union have narrowed the gap in their thinking about the manner in which inspection might be carried out. The U.S. president had four other points in his program, none of them really new but rather a_ general restatement of a program: which could be pursued by the disarma- ment delegates at Geneva. It's doubtful if any startlingly new idea could be produced at this stage. But Mr. Khrushchev and the late Presi- dent Kennedy came very to estab- lishing what might be termed a "climate for horse-trading" and Mr. Johnson's statement indicates that he would like to prolong it.

BRITISH Bus COi REPORT FROM U.K. Scotland To Stage Industrial Exhibit By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times GLASGOW, Scotland -- Great preparations are being made for a large-scale Scottish Industries Exhibition which is to be held in September of this year in the mammoth Kelvin Hall in the YOUR HEALTH west end of Glasgow.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What about braces for children's teeth? Some people tell me they're not worth the trouble and expense and sometimes good teeth loosen and must be pulled My dentist tells me my nine- year-old daughter and 12-year- old son both need braces, since the 'bite' isn't right... My- daughter still occasionally sucks her thumb in her. sleep. I'm afraid I'll be sorry I don't take them both to an or- thodontist. What do you think? --MRS. CDC Well, first I- think "some peo- ple'. were completely off base and not correctly informed when they. made that remark about "good teeth loosen and must be pulled." That just isn't so. Not im the way they put it. Here are the facts, and you'll see how these people have con- fused things. Straightening and _ aligning teeth is not an overnight pro- cess. It takes time and skill and special appliances which may be "'braces" or may in some cases be rubber 'fittings which exert a steady pull. In consequence, the process costs money. However, the cost is spread over some period of time. Is it worth the cost? That depends. Some people don't have to think twice about the cost. They can spend the money almost routinely because they want their children to have even teeth just for the sake of ap- pearance. And I'm all for it; if you can afford it. Appearance is of some significance For others, however, the pur se is much more than. good ooks. If the teeth don't meet properly, we call it malocclu- sion--the 'bite' isn't correct This can' cause a 'variety of problems later. on--difficulty in TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan. 23, 1964 The first major sea battle between the Allies and Jap-- anese in the Second World War took place in Macassar Strait 22 years ago today-- in 1942, U.S. and Dutch air and sea forces sank or dam- aged at. least 27 Japanese transports and warships 1915--The last. spike. was driven at.

Or throwing the jaw out of line Gradually moving the teeth into proper position does not loosen. them. Indeed, if you have a tooth pulled, the adja- cent ones gradually (and quite naturally) will "drift' toward the open area, but do not be- come loose because of that. However, in the process of straightening teeth (or even without that) it sometimes is nceessary to rémove a healthy tooth. This is because we some- times inherit a jaw from one parent but teeth from the other, I'm sure you've seen this plenty of times. There isn't, enough space for all the teeth. In such instances, it may be necessary to extract a healthy tooth in or- der to leave adequate room for the rest. This is vastly better than having the teeth jamméd into too small a space, s0 they are out of line and cannot be effectively cleaned. If your dentist sees the need for such care, follow his sugges- tion and take the youngsters to an orthodontist -- a_ speciulist who deals in such problems.

The Ontario throne speech carried the following statement: "We will cooperate in pro- moting the even development of al] Canada. We will resist attempts to divide us through economic competition among the provinces. The fragmenta- tion of the Canadian market by preferential price treatment pol- {cies at the provincial level will OTTAWA REPORT render all provinces less com- petitive beta at home and abroad." This is talking out of the side of the mouth. A free translation is: "'Que- bec we aren't going to stand for you giving your industry a break in your government pur- chases." What will be hara to under- stand is that a day or so after the speech Education Minister William Davis gave a talk in Thompson Answers Dief's Accusation By PATRICK NICHULSUN OTTAWA -- "It is only the death rattle of a dying politi- cian!" : This was the laughing an- swer of R. N. Thompson, Social Credit leader, when I asked his comment upon Mr. Diefen- baker's criticism of the Social Crediters' voting pattern in Parliament. By his choice of words, Bob Thompson was im- plying his conviction that Mr. Diefenbaker's political days are numbered. Through the last two sessions of Parliament, Bob Thompson has consistently voted in a manner to give Canada a stable government, provided only that the government would govern. His philosophy is that Can- ada is best served by its MPs engaging in legislative action on Parliament Hill, rather than in partisan wrangling on the hustings. A year ago, he ex- light precision engineering to whiskey; tweed and shipbuilding AFTER EXPORT TRADE Lord Clydesmuir, chairman of the exhibition, stressed that Scotland is 'seeking an even larger share of the export cake". Scottish firms have done well in the recent United Kingdom rise in exports to' European countries. During the fall of 1963, Scottish missions have been active in Canada, the United States, Germany and Scandinavia. The 1964 exhibition will be on a larger scale than any pre- vious postwar exhibitions. A series of small halls devoted to particular sections of industry will be created within the' huge Kelvin Hall, HALL OF HERITAGE On entering , the building, visitors will be immediately confronted with a huge curved screen with a projected film mural, which will form the ex- terior of a "Hall of Heritage', explaining the development of the country's - industrial tradi- tions..On a higher level, at the top of a wide flight of stairs, will be the "'Hall of Enterprise". Rising from the centre of an 80-foot diameter circle there will be an imaginative creation sym- bolizing the newness and enter- prise of contemporary Scotland. Two other main halls, one displaying light engineering, electronic equipment and office machinery, and the other for heavy industry, will be reached in turn by descending stair- ways from the 'Hall of Enter- prise'. The fimal view of the exhibition will be gained from a "Cloth Hall", which will fea- ture huge sweeps of native tex- tiles, flowing from high above floor level, backlit to demon- strate color and texture. Qne of the objectives of the exhibition is to emphasize the attractions of Scotland for in- vestment of capital from outside the country, The products of firms which have come from England, the United States and Europe to establish plants in Scotland will be featured. Stress will be laid on the fact that more than 50 American firms have benefitted in the last de- cade by setting up manufactur- ing plants in expanding sectors of the Scottish economy. .

"I am convinced," he said, "that it is the responsibility of all of us in this House to give the government the authority and the money to carry on the nation's public affairs. It must however be recognized that this policy is based on the premise that the government would pro- -vide clear-cut policies and ap- propriate legislation." CRUTCH FOR TORIES It was that sense of national responsibility which 'led Bob Thompson and his followers to support the Diefenbaker gov- ernment through the fall of 1962. It was the failure of the Diefenbaker government to meet the premise that caused the Social Crediters to withdraw that support, and hence to bring about the fall of the Diefen- baker government. Through the first session of the present Par- liament, Bob Thompson and his party have voted to support the Pearson government, just as they did for Mr. Diefenbaker previously. : The reactions have been in- teresting. Mr. D. did not critt- cize Bob Thompson when he was enjoying Social Credit sup- port but now he wrongly as- serts that the Social Crediters have made '"'a voting alliance with the Liberals." Bob .Thomp- son stresses that there has been no alliance; merely public-spir- ited action to enable the Liberal government, albeit in a minor- ity position in the Commons, to govern the country. Recently it has seemed that the renegade "Caouettists," the breakaway group of Quebec Social Credit- ers, are prepafed to carry some of this load of responsi- bility. Bob Thompson says he is very relieved that it -no longer rests on his shoulders alone. BUNDLERS DON'T WED Meanwhile the Social Credit support for the Liberals, which has frustrated Mr. D's hopes for yet another election, has come in for criticism. "This vot- ing practice is a form of bund- ling," says Mr. D., '"'which may lead to marriage." Certainly Mr. Thompson never wanted to wed Mr. D. politically, although Most politiclans and voters | President and Chief Executive Officer CHARLES F.
