Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1964--PAGE 6 Welland Canal Traffic Benefits Whole Nation The Great Lakes Waterways Development Association says the federal government will be "dis- eriminating against Ontario and its industry if tolls are reimposed on the Welland Canal", and has told the federal government so. in a letter to Prime Minister Pearson. The association represents Western Canadians grain producers, ship- ping companies, primary and secondary industries, boards. of trade and chambers of commerce. The letter says: "This discrimination against the province which provides Canada with the bulk of its industrial pro- duction, employment and tax re- venues, seems to us grossly unfair. If tolls are reimposed on the Wel- Jand Canal, Lake Ontario will once more become the only one of the five Great Lakes which ships can neither enter nor leave without payment of a toll. We are at a loss to understand why inland water- ways -- which made an enormous contribution to the development of Universities - A Quebec spokesman has already expressed misgivings about pro- posed federal legislation to provide university students with interest- free loans. Such loans would be ac- ceptable to Quebec, it seems, only if the money were channelled through the provincial government--a pro- 'cess which, of course, would make it appear as if the provincial govern- ment were the source of the aid, Still, this has been the traditional response of Quebec to attempts by federal authorities to assist univer- sities. The BNA Act gives the pro- "yinces responsibility for educational matters, and Quebec is not going to let Ottawa forget it. The Quebec position is under- atandable. Universities are powerful intellectual instruments; they can guard cultural traditions and they can originate and foster new thought. Quebec itself is the best example of both processes ; the 'new wave" which is sweeping Quebec had its origin in Laval. On the other hand, there are the country -- should be discriml- nated against by being the only water transport facilities in North America which are subject to tolls." The association has a strong ar- gument. The Welland tolls will add to the cost of every item of cargo passing through the' canal, to and from Lakes Ontario and Erie -- and this is the busiest canal system in the world, carrying more traffic than Suez and Panama combined. The tolls will be reflected in the final prices of the goods carried by the ships using the canal -- another disadvantage in the competition for domestic and foreign markets. The government, of course, is fully aware of this. It is also aware of the alternative to tolls: payment out of general revenue for the twin- ning of the Welland locks. Should Halifax and Vancouver help pay for the project? They should, if the twinning will be a national benefit, and in our opinion it will be, just as improvement of harbor facilities in Halifax and Vancouver would be. National universities in Quebec -- McGill is the outstanding example -- which attract students from all over Can- ada. The same can be said for universities in the other provinces. And apart from, any other con- siderations, this makes the univer- sity a national institution. Another consideration is that most of our universities now depend heavily on provincial assistance; the poorer the province, the more meagre the as- sistance. Yet all but a few univer- sities produce graduates who fan out across the country, contribu- ting their skills not so much to a province as to a nation. Should the university, then, be penalized, be- cause of its location? We do not think so. In a solid, material sense, they should get national help to enable them to make the best pos- sible national contribution. If they don't get that help, it is possible that some provinces may block the enrolment of outsiders in their uni- versities, which would be a sorry turn of events. Prospects Of Leisure The future effects of automation were exhaustively discussed at a recent meeting of labor represen- tatives in Niagara Falls. One re- presentative thought that when automation gets into its stride "humans will be free to occupy themselves with the more important things in life -- learning culture and politics." It's a happy thought. A rather more subtle one was expressed the other day by John I. Snyder, Jr., whose firm, United States Indus- tries Inc., designs and produces some of the mechanical marvels that are reshaping industry, opening a whole new technological chapter in economic history, and probably re- defining the concept of work itself. Said Mr. Snyder: "People -- living, breathing, feel- ing and thinking people -- somehow will have to learn to do nothing in &@ constructive way." She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

He suggests that -one pos- sible key to meaning and satisfac- tio, in the "new leisure" might be found through a reorientation of the whole educational process from "'its primary emphasis on preparation for life to preparation for living." Now, that is going to be a very difficult thing indeed, because while large numbers of people may have little or no work to do, others will have a lot of important and highly skilled work. Someone, after all, has to keep the machines running; someone has to prepare the data for the machines to consume, to keep the digestion of the machines in good order, to make decisions, Will there be a two-stream system of education, one for the "workers" and one for the "drones"?

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times CAMBRIDGE -- The old Nor- man tower of an ancient church in Cambridgeshire, wrecked in the 18th century because of the superstitions of the villagers of the community it served, is to be restored. The church is St. Mary's Parish Church of Swaff- ham Prior, in Cambridgeshire, where it has stood since it was built in the 11th century. But its Norman tower has been a ruin since it was wrecked in the 18th century by villagers who were corivinced that "the Devil had got into it'. Swaffam Prior is a compact little village of 750 population. But it is celebrated for the fact that its two churches, St. Mary's, llth century, and St. Cyriac and Julitta's, century, are built within the one court-yard. They stand only a few yards apart on a mound overlooking the village street. STRUCK BY LIGHTNING Before the Reformation, the two churches were separate benefices. No one today knows why they were built so close together. In 1767, St. Mary's Church tower was struck by lightning. The first result was YOUR HEALTH 14th-15th that its congregation deserted it in favor of the neighboring St. Cyriac's Church. Then, fol- lowing an old rural superstition, that the Devil had taken posses- sion of the tower, the people of the village tried to demolish it. This proved a tougher task than they had anticipated. It was built of massive Norman masonry, so that after it had been partially destroyed, the at- tempts to remove it altogether were given up. The tower of St. Mary's Church is of unique design. Its ground stage is square in shape and four-sided. Its walls are seven feet thick. The second stage is octagonal, and is be- lieved to have inspired Ely Ca- thedral's famous Octagon, Lit- tle. remains of the third and fourth stages, these having been destroyed in the attempt to de- molish the whole structure, but they are 16-sided and pierced by lancet windows. PLANS PREPARED Final plans for the restora- tion of the ancient tower have been prepared for presentation to a meeting of the villagers. These provide for the repair of the walls and: the building of a new roof and parapet, above which will rise a narrow spire of stainless steel. The ruined Sealing Of Gland Results In Cyst By JOSEPH G. Molner, MD Dear Dr,.. Molner: on my lower eyelid my doctor says I have a cyst. Exactly how does this differ from pink eye or a stye? Will hot fomentations help? Will a cyst open itself if it has proper treatment?--JV Let's go at it backwards, which will make things clearer. Pink eye is a sort of general term for inflammation of the eye and the inside of the lids, caused by one or another type of germ A stye is an Infection in one or perhaps several of the many tiny glands which surround the eyelashes, Both of these usually clear up if reasonable care is taken not to let the infection spread. A cyst is quite different. In this case one of the small giands of the eyelid (you can TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 26, 1964 . . Napoleon escaped from -the_ island of Elba 149 years ago today--in 1815. The Con- gress of Vienna was still sitting when, early in | March, the news came "'like a bombshell." By March 20, Napoleon was at the Tuiler- fes and Louis XVIII had fled to Ghent. Within three weeks, France had rallied to the former. emperor, but the Battle of Waterloo June 18 ended it all, The British government banished - him to, the remote island of St. Hélena, where he died at ae age of 52 in 1821. 1918 -- The Germans bombed the Italian seaport of Venice in the First World ar 1962--Algerian rebel lead- ers approved cease-fire ar- rangements with France , ' have cysts in glands elsewhere) becomes closed. The purpose of the gland is to produce small amounts of substances which ordinarily seep out gradually. If. a gland becomes sealed over, these substances cannot get out. They accumulate inside the gland, and it swells. This is a "cyst." In time, the pressure builds up and becomes painful. Some- times the pressure causes a small rupture, allowing the ma- terial inside to escape, and then--for the time being -- it feels better. Or, of course, if it becomes too painful before the pressure breaks a path through, the cyst can be lanced, relieving the problem. Unfortunately this is not a permament cure. The cyst closes up again, and the pres- sure builds up again, and you have to go through the same thing once more. The only permament answer is to remove the cyst. This is a minor procedure even though, of course, it requires careful do- ing because of its location. Cysts are usually removed from the under side of the eyelid so the scar won't show, although it is a rather small one in any event. Hot applications might speed up the draining, but that's all. The cyst will form again, un- less it is removed. Dear Sir: male to be sterilized? Do any local doctors perfom this op- eration? What does it entail?-- HK Whether it is legal depends on the state in which you live. For the most part, i frown on such operations because, foremost among the reasons, many peo- ple want to change their minds about it afterward, and then it is too late. The operation is quite. simple; deciding whether to have it done is not; or should not be. a Is it legal for a) West Porch, a perpendicular ad- dition to the original Norman work, will be rebuilt to the orig- inal design. It is hoped to begin work in the spring. The cost of the restoration is estimated at about $45,000. In spite of the smallness of its pop- ulation, the villagers of Swaff- ham Prior have already raised over $21,000 of this: amount. With the support of Dr. Noel Hudson, lately Bishop of Elv, and Lord Fairhaven, a local landowner, an appeal is now being made for the remainder of the funds required. OTTAWA REPORT Factors Affecting Government Future By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA -- Will other New Democrats follow the Ross Thatcher and Hazen Argue path into the Liberal party? Will So- cial Credit. frontbenchers, tired of waiting for a new look in the Conservative party, accept the vigorous courting of the Grits? Answers to these ques- tions will condition the future fortunes of the Pearson minor- ity government. The loud percussions of a car- penter's hammer _ cracked through the House of Commons on the session's first day of de- bate. Prime Minister Pearson sat unmoved at the head of his cabinet, strengthened by his re- cent changes in personnel and duties, But that persistent ham- mering struck an apt note: The cabinetmaker. was still at work. Basically the recent changes fortified the Quebec wing of his cabinet, There had been objec- tions to his Quebec lieutenant, Lionel Chevrier, on the narrow and unreasonable grounds that, despite his French - Canadian parentage, he is not a true Que- becker. He had been born 20 fatal miles outside the borders of that province, at Cornwall, Ont, There had also been vo- ciferous opposition criticism of the patronage practised by the postmaster - general, the long- time parliamentarian Azellus Denis. SINEWS OF POLITICS The Liberal party has a rep- utation for looking after its own, and this helps it to make en- during and numerous friends. But some of Mr. Denis' hirings and firings carried patronage to _rather brutal lengths. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Feb. 26, 1939 Four days after the death of T. B, Mitchell, the city lost an- other of its prominent men, Robert D. Preston, former mayor, died of a feart attack on Feb. 25 at his home in Har- mony, two days before his 55th birthday. He served the city continuously from 1922 to 1938 in various capacities. Diplomas were presented to 40 1 embers who had completed the Home Nursing Course of the Oshawa Branch of the Red Cross Society. Acting Chief He bert L. Flin- off was promoted to inspector by the Oshawa Police-Commis- sion, with an increase in salary. H. W. McBrien, veteran Township Clerk, was hospital- ized suffering a broken ankle. A confirmation service was conducted at Holy Trinity Angli- can Church for 34 candidates. Major Rey, S. C. Jarrett was the rector. Ald. J, C. Anderson stated that the city wou'd purchase a new fire pumper truck at a cost of $6,231. Chief Elliott had strongly urged this purchase for some time. District Deputy Grand Mas- ter Rt. Wor. Bro. H. J. Toms, of Newcastle, paid his official visit to Cedar Lodge, AF and AM, No. 270, and complimented Wor. Master Byron Edmondson and officers of the lodge on their work. William Locke, Rev. George Telford, Arthur Alloway and Lloyd M: gill were new mem- be. rm. *eived in the fellowship of the Oshawa Rotary Club. Jeanette Darlington was chosen queen of the Kinsmen's Ice Carnival. The South Ontario Agricultural Society tendered a banquet to George W. McLaughlin for the service he had rendered to agri- culture in this district. So those two left the cabinet, renlacad hv 'de vrais debrouiliards", or haine bese sed .) bright young men. At the same time Guy Favreau, who 12 months ago was not even a pare liamentarian, emerged as the Quebec leader and as a crown prince being groomed for future kingship. Thus the cabinet shuffle re- made the Quebec wing. But as that hammering suggested, Prime Minister Pearson has not finished his cabinet making. His next and complementary step will be to build up the English- speaking wing of his cabinet, probably during the summer fe- cess of Parliament. Contrary to reports circulat- ing among the coffee cups and press typewriters on Parlia- ment Hill, there never was a backbench drive to oust the two ministerial targets for opposi- tion shot and shell, Finance Minister Walter Gordon and Health Minister Judy LaMarsh. In fact the Liberal caucus had the policy aims of whom were praiseworthy, even if their in- experienced methods drew fire. LEFT OR CENTRE? Theré*will be some shifts in portfolios when the English- Seoakine wing of the cabinet is reconstructed. These will de- pend upon the performance of ministers during the coming months, Agriculture Minister Harry Hays comes to mind in this connection, But resigna- tions will only be sought from some of the weaker ministers, and these will be replaced from among that eager young group - of newcomers who have done so much to refurbish their party. : This group tends predom- inantly to veer away from the wide middie of the political road, so carefully trod by Mac- kenzie King, and swerve to the left side. It seems that moder- ate Mike Pearson is losing his battle to keep his party in the Mackenzie King track. This is evidenced by the man-to-man approaches being made by top Liberals to prominent Socreds, seeking to enlist these right-of- the-road politicians into the Lib- eral party as a counterpoise. Meanwhile, the mass s' wedding of Liberals and New Democrats having been at least postponed, - other Grits are courting individual New Demo- crats, seeking the few votes needed to establish a majority position in Parliament, BUEHLERS Tender EAT'N TRUE -TRIM BEEF | ¢ THUR., FRI., SAT., SPECIALS ° LEAN BONELESS STUFFED PORK ROAST 49: SKINLESS WIENERS 2 us. 19° ox 1.89 LEAN SLICED SIDE PORK OR SHOULDER Pork Steaks 2 x 1.00 BONELESS RUMP OR ROUND STEAK ROAST (t:) STEAK SALE!
