She Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian Newspopers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontarlo T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1964---PAGE 6 Canada Was Not Built On Short Term Vision One of the better speeches at this week's gathering in Ottawa of the national Progressive Con- servatives was made by Mrs. Jean Casselman. Her central theme was the urgent need for national unity, One suspects that she also had party unity in mind, but that does not matter; her message was directed at all those who practise the art of politics in Canada--and we devoutly, hope it will be given something more than passing attention by those practitioners. Mrs. Casselman's most. telling sentence was this: "Unity cannot be built on greed for position, on short term vote catching, on dra- matic hysterical campaigns and most of all it cannot be built on the divide and rule technique of poli- tics," It may be naive to expect those who have been committing the sins listed by Mrs. Casselman to change their ways. Mrs. Casselman, of course, is not by any means the Changes Of BY REV. GORDON W. C, BRETT Knox Presbyterian Church, Oshawa This winter, in Oshawa, we have seen how quickly the weather may change. A frigid December was followed by a January thaw. The climate of public opinion also changes; sometimes quickly and with remarkable results, More often, however, changes in our thinking come slowly and painfully. The modern age is making us atretch our minds beyond limits never imagined by most of us. We live in a revolutionary world. Many traditional and trusted ideas and judgments have become out-moded overnight. These are disturbing and confusing times. Our confusion of thought is demonstrated by the contrast between the human long- ing for world peace and unity and our rising nationalisms and section- alisms. The latter, surely, are retro- grade movements in the present situation. One of the encouraging signs in current affairs is the more har- monious relations developing be- tween the churches, Protestant, first to expound this view, nor will she be the last, Too many of our politicians have found that in many parts of the country votes can be gathered by hysterical campaigns and the promotion' of divisions, Still, the better politicians must surely be aware of the central fact of Canadian history, particularly as we prepare to celebrate our cen- tenary. The fact: Canada was born and raised on compromise, on & system of reasonable give-and-take, During the Conservative meeting, there were constant references to Macdonald and Cartier as architects of Confederation. And those two great Canadians earned all the encomiums, But there were others, of divergent views, who finally worked with them. Confederation did not become possible until men of sharply opposing views became willing to discuss their differences reasonably and to form a coalition to achieve a desired end, That fact must never be forgotten, Climate Orthodox and Roman Catholic are seeking genuinely to understand each other. What a contrast this presents to the situation four hundred years ago! A parallel may be drawn between the great division of the world that appeared in Reformation times and the modern political division of east and west, But, there is this difference, Whereas the world prior to 1945 could live with hatreds and divisions in comparative safety, this is no longer possible. We need to re- examine some aspects of the Chris- tian Ethic. Maybe Jesus was rather practical, after all. Apparently, we must grow up or we shall blow up. We do not have four hundred years to learn to hive with our neighbors, whatever their political persuasion. Four years in a closer estimate, We must co-exist or we shall cease to exist. It is just as simple as that. Dr. Margaret Meade has said that peace is like bread today, we cannot live without it. The warming trend in international relations is a sign of hope. Convention High Jinks Charges made in Oakville town council that the Ontario Good Roads convention is nothing but a drink- ing free-for-all will make many municipal tax-payers sit up and take notice, the Hamilton Spectator properly points out, Councillor L. Kelly New charged that entire councils and staffs of some municipalities check into the convention hotel but. never leave their rooms to attend lectures and seminars. "You can't get them out, because they are so stiff," he said. The Spectator comments: Convention have always had their accompaniment of high jinks and good fellowship and, at the right time -- except when carried to excess -- there's nothing particu- larly bad about this attitude, espe- cially when the participant is pay- ing his own shot, and not being The Oshawa Times 7.

But using taxpayers' money for the high jinks is a far different kettle of fish. If Councillor's New's charges that delegates to the Good Roads con- vention use public money for nothing more than a gigantic binge are substantiated, then it is time councils took a long, hard look at the situation, Oakville council has already started the ball rolling by refusing to approve a $40 membership fee for the convention, Other Editors' Views MANNERLY POLICEMEN (Ottawa Journal) Snickers greet the news that On- tario Provincial Police officers are being given pointers on etiquette. The officers are being told what is considered proper in table manners, cocktail party customs and use of the teaspoon. There's nothing funny in this, The best-mannered man is the one who has gone to the trouble of find- ing out what good mannrs are, It is not always possible for a policeman to act with tea-party graces in en forcing the law, but he is a better policeman: and citizen for knowing good manners, Most police officers on the way up the ladder of pro- motion need little instruction in etiquette. They are fully aware that modern society expects more of a law officer than a heavy fist. QUEBEC OPINION Province's Purchasing Preferences Defended Trois-Rivieres Le Nouvel- liste--The reaction of certain businessmen to the work of Le Conseil d'expansion eco- nomique seems strange, One has the impression that cer- tain financiers cannot con- ceive of any system in Can- ada other than Quebec's eco- nomic ensiavement by the omnipotence of Toronto, How else does one explain the pro- tests and threats offered fol- lowing Quebec's decision to encourage our own firms in preference to those from out- side? Col, Sarto Marchand, presi- dent of Le Conseil d'expan- sion economique, was cerain- ly clear. He stated that his organization was not pursuing any negative goal, rather it seeks only to increase the volume of business in Quebec and, by this very effort, to help reduce unemployment. We have 40 per cent of the unemployed in all Canada, Are the fears of the Toronto public justified? Mr. Marchand declares that, "according to a lightning sur- very among members of Le Conseil d'expansion econom- ique, they buy in Ontario much more than they. sell The ratio is three to one, This is an abnormal situation that must be corrected, not by a boycott of Ontario products, but by an increase in our own productivity, What we desire for our business firms fs their progress, th. growth of their sales and the increase of their profits." Those are completely nor- mal and justifiable objectives, Working to render the Quebec economy healthier is, at the game time, helping. to place all the people of Canada in a more stable financial situa- tion and to diminish unem- ployment considerably, One of the urgent needs in this coun- try, and indeed in all coun- tries of the world, is economic decentralization. The weak- ness of the Canadian economy derives in large measure from the fact that business and, above all, industry are cen- * tralized in a few favored cen- tres, . . , (Jan, 29) Granby. La Voix de l'Est-- The school textbook debate is far from over, For the mo- ment, the attribution of exag- gerated royalties te the au- thors is drawing the most as- sertion, Thanks to a system solidly established and know- ingly controlled within the sub-committees and commit: tees of the department of public instruction, these au- thors were able to realize profits of 25 to 40 par cent an the sale of their textbooks to pupils in elementary schools, When they are reproached for their conduct, today,. they take on the little airs of of- fended parties. They invoke their insufficient salaries of the past, their numerous years dedicated to the educa- tion of youth, finally their right te draw royalties from works that have necessitated several years of study and work But does that justify profits of $50,000 to $400,000? Are these profits not scandalous, when they ore realized at the expense of the taxpayers' pen- nies and the insufficient sala- ries of parents ; when, in order to realize them, the most lu- erative sector of education is chosen and, for this reason, lary education, pitifully provided with textbooks con- forming to its curricula, is forced to have recourse to English or American text- books; when, furthermore, other authors are happy with a profit of 10 per cent; when, finally, the best authors in Trance draw at the most six or eight per cent from the sale of their works? That these authors, in their capacity as educationists, have previously earned insuf- ficient salaries, we recognize, but this is no reason to de- mand an exaggerated profit liable to raise the cost of books to a prohibitive level, It seems to be forgotten that he school boards and parents are not free to refuse to buy these textbooks; they are im- posed upon them at an exor bitant price fixed in advance, ~., (Feb, 1) Montreal La Presse... If the authors of the armory raid are indeed revolutionaries of the FLQ type, it would be well for them to know that they have not got the suppor of their compatriots, any more than did their pre- decessors, Not even of separ atist leaders who have pub- licly condemned violence. As we said during the pe- riod of events that cost the life of the night watchman O'Neil, we live under politi- cal structures that allow prac- tically the most complete freedom of opinion, Anyone may try, with the spoken word and with the pen, to make his cause victorious. But he should remain within the law At the present time the champions of Quebec inde- pendence have much more important things to do than to fire guns or throw bombs at federal institutions, They should address themselves to their compatriots, Those are the people whom they must first influence, If the major- ity of the people of Quebec ever become convinced that separatism is the right thing, they will probably not need recourse to arms in order to leave Confederation, Our Eng- lish-speaking partners will not hang on to us in spite of our- selves, . , » We are astonished that the military authorities have failed to protect in a really adequate manner the stores of weapons that remain a con- tinuous temptation to sedition: mongers or ordinary evil-do- ers, It is inconceivable that the Pine Avenue armory was guarded only by a janitor, The inquiry ordered by Ot- tawa ought to lead to the adoption of a more realistic policy, . .

Wetern, CA, UNITED KINGDOM OPINION 'Wilson's Tax Statement Staggers Stock Market By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON --- Chancellor of the Exchequer Reginald Maudling gave the morale of Britons a Substantial lift in an address in which he gave a cheerful fore- cast of expansion in the nation. al economy in 1064, Coming on. top of a speech by Harold Wil- son, leader of the Labor oppo- sition, who issued a grim warn- ing of increased taxes on profits and dividends and new taxes on certain branches of industry, Mr, Maudling's message pro: vided an 'excellent counter: balance to the announcement of Mr, Wilson's plans, Mr, Maudling predicted that in the next year business will grow, production will rise, and that prospects for trade and employment' are all good, His message was a real morale- booster for the East Midlands Conservative officials who were resent at the meeting at which e@ spoke, MARKETS AFFECTED It was, however, the = an- nouncement by Mr, Wilson of the new taxation policies which would be adopted if a Labor government comes into office which had the greater impact on public thinking, And the. im- pact was not a favorable one, In the days following his pro- nouncement, the stock markets looked very sick, with bursts of selling and some drastic drops in share prices, The market in- dex reached the lowest level recorded since last September, and 27 points below the peak which was reached in January, In financial circles, this was aileibuted to one thing only -- Mr, Wilson's prediction of the new taxation measures which would follow the advent of a Labor. government, The fears created by these Labor policies may turn out to be quite harmful to the Labor party, Mr, Wilson tries to give the impression that they will hit only the wealthy minority, But Stock Exchange circles point out that to a greater extent than ever before, ordinary citi- zens are using their savings to deal on the stock exchange, It is figured that about 3,800,000 investors are now dealing on the stock exchange, and the YOUR HEALTH ro advancement of unit syn- icates has brought millions more. into the share-holding class who would be detriment: ally affected by the proposed Wilson brand of new taxes, With the stock markets show- ing so violent a reaction to the threat of these taxes, Labor cannot hope to make this much of a note-winning polloy when election time comes around, PRICE-FIXING BILL The government is not going to have a happy time getting its bill to abolish resale price maintenance, or price-fixing, passed into legislation, Strong pressures are being built up in opposition to this measure, At the spearhead of the oppo- sition is the powerful Beaver: brook press, which is conducting an all-out ca ign of propa- ganda against the government's proposals, It is stirring up the small shopkeepers, particularly the country's 30,000 newsagents, to campaign against them, On the front page of every issue of the Daily Express there are articles warning the small merchants of the peril which they will face if price-fixing is abolished, Public house owners, small traders of every kind and car dealers are all segments of public opinion which the Beav- erbrook press is trying to turn against the government's plans, and the campaign is being car: ried on with all the fire and fury which marked the former Beaverbrook propaganda in op- position to Britain joining the Common Market, While this campaign is direct. ed against the government, it should be noted that the Labor opposition is keeping silent over the proposed measures, and is not likely to risk opposing it when it comes before the Com: mons, The real aim of the bill is to fight inflation, to keep down prices of goods to the mil- lions of British housewives, so that the government has quite a good vote-winning case on which. to go ahead, in spite of the vituperative attacks of the Beaverbrook press, KENNEDY VISIT The visit to London to meet government leaders of Robert , Kennedy, attorney - general of the United States, who had came direct from meetings with President Sukarno of Indonesia, Woman Is Worried By Blood Donation By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr, Molner: Recently | was a blood donor, The nurse asked a lot of questions, includ- ing the routine one, "Are you pregnant?" I said no because I didn't think there was a chance that I was, Now I find that I may be, Would the blood donation have any adverse effect on a baby? 1 am in good physical condi- tion.--Mrs, A.C . Blood banks are intent on two things: Getting blood for recipients, and not harming the donors in any way, Being pregnant is not de- leterious as regards the blood you gave, The donation will not have an adverse effect on the baby-to- be. Dear Dr, Molner: My daugh- ter is 18 months old, She won't drink her milk unless I season it with a few drops of choco late, Will this harm her in any way?--Mrs, R.T, No, not uniess she's allergic te chocolate, which apparently she isn't. Dear Dr, Molner: What is the difference between internal and re ag hemorrhoids? -- Mrs, Hemorrhoids (or "'piles") are varicose or swollen veins which develop near the anus, If they are inside, above the sphincter muscle which closes the rectal outlet, and are beneath the mu- cous surface, they are "inter nal." If they are. just outside the sphincter, and hence cov ered by the skin, they are "ex ternal," Dear Dr. Molner: What is meant by a seven-month baby Mrs, W. The normal gestation is nine months. If a baby is born two months earlier, the birth is pre- mature, It's a seven + month baby. Pear Dr, Molner: You wrote that mothers whose babies weigh more than nine pounds often have diabetes or may de velop it, Why? I am the mother of six children who weighed trom nine pounds three ounces to 10 pounds eight ounces at ag IT am 27 years old.--Mrs, We don't know why, The dia- betes may appear immediately or many years later, The size of your babies is a suspicious sign but is not proof that you will have diabetes You may carry the trait dut not know it Any woman having such large babies should be sus: picious (but not frightened) and should have periodic blood su- gar tests. If you do get dia. betes, at least hy witl find it out early and that helps. Avoid overweight, om eteeee er? @ Mechi has received very little notice over here, There is a strong feeling that Mr, Kennedy has been fairly well won over to the Indonésian way of thinking, and is not par- ticularly interested in lining up with Britain to protect the new' Federation of Malaysia, The basic difference between the British and American view. point is that while Washington seems disposed to take ar no's word seriously and to trust him, the British government is not so gullible, That is probably why Mr, Kennedy did not make the impression on Prime Min ister Sir Alec Douglas-Home that he had expected to make, He has gone back to Washi ton with one thought firm planted in his mind by the Brit- ish talks, and that is the deter mination of Britain to use e means at its disposal, even it means war, to protect Maly- sia from the Indonesians, There will be no withdrawing of Brit- ish troops from Malaysia, such as has been demanded by Su- karno as a pre-requisite to sit: ting down around the confer ence table, SCHOOL LEAVING AGE The school-leaving age in Brit- ain is to be raised from 18 to 16, but so much is involved in the way of providing more school buildings and training more teachers that it will be 1970 before this becomes fully effective, The announcement of this change was received with deri- sion by the Labor opposition in the House of Commons, who wanted a much earlier date for raising the school leaving age. But the minister of education, Sir Edward Boyle, gave a quite convincing statement of the reasons why an earlier date would be quite impracticadle, There is a tremendous job of teacher training and school building to be done before the» - extra year can be added. His logic did convince the Liberals, who voted with the government on the question, and gave it a majority of 62 in the Commons division, M. A, MAIDLOW Mr. A.
