Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, MAY 4, 1964--PAGE 6 a a ng | Dialogues Just Great, But We Get Monologues 'Canadians outside Quebec are ; inclinded to think that loud voices } heard in that province speak for * large numbers or even most of the { people of the province. It may not * be so. This was suggested by For- ' estry Minister Maurice Sauve last { week in an address to the Rich- elieu Club at Saint - Laurent. He . said: "If one examines the voices that are being raised, it becomes elear that not all the groups of the pop- ulation are so well represented as they ought to be, in fact some not at all. It is clear too, that the voices of some groups are disproportion- ately noisy for the size of the sec- tion of the population they represent. As a result, it is a bal- anced viewpoint that is being ex- pressed in Quebec today. Much of the criticism has been of the bitter, vitriolic,, unconstructive variety that frequently seeks to attack the man and pays scant heed to the value of his arguments. This has meant that many who could contri- bute 'usefully to this dialouge, have preferred to remain silent for fear { of being embroiled in controversy. Many of the noisy, and frequently less logical, of the groups speaking in Quebec ay have interpreted this silence aS an endorsement of their viewpoint. There is thus breed- ing in.Quebec a brand of absolutism in political thought .. . This attitude of philosophical certainty so dear to some in Quebec today is the at- titude that leaves no room for hon- est negotiation between legitimate differences of viewpoint." This may be a worry for the more reasonable people of Quebec. It should be, because those strident voices are the ones heard most fre- quently in the rest of Canada. For every action there is a reaction; and for every noisy outburst in Quebec there is, unfortunately, a re- action outside Quebec. One of the troubles, of course, is that there is not in fact a dialogue between French - speaking and English - speaking Canada, A di- alogue suggests a reasonable ex- change of views, and that is not truly taking place. Instead, we are hearing altogether too many mon- ologues. Ready For Big League? Canadians are used to hearing about the gentlemanly conduct of European 'hdckey players. But they have long harbored a dark suspicion that, while international rules may be designed to reduce the amount ' of body -- contact permitted under Canadian rules, the overseas play- ers have become quite adept at clutching, grabbing, spearing, el- :. bowing and all the other niceties | of the game as perpetrated in Canadian rinks. Stand-up fights, however, have been frowned on by European hockey officials. What would result in a major penalty in Canada brings a match penalty over there. ; Still, Canadian teams which have played exhibition games in Europe have reported an increasing will- ingness, even eagerness, on the part of European players to give more than verbal expression to their an- guish when prodded by stick or Watch That Vitamin manufacturers are not going to give any medals to Dr. Alton Goldbloom. The Montreal pediatrician says in an article in Health that "if you can afford to buy expensive vitamins, you do not need them. If you need them, it is usually because you can't afford them and if you can't afford them, don't feel lost. Spend the money on cabbages, carrots, potatoes, eggs, milk and leafy vegetables. These with fortified bread, cheese, meat, fish and poultry will more than + supply all of your and your child's 3 mineral and vitamin needs; add to ' this a dash of sunshine and you need ask for nothing more." Dr. Goldbloom sets out to tell "the truth about vitamins". He argues this way: Vitamins do no more than protect you against those diseases which you would get if you received no Oshawa Times T. L.

It's quite possible they have ar- rived. A few days ago a despatch from Moscow revealed that two junior hockey teams from that city had been barred from playing for 12 months because of "collective hooliganism." The matter was fe- ported in the newspaper Evening Moscow. Hockey officials barred the Spartak and Soviet Army junior teams after a pitched battle be- tween the two sides before thou- sand of spectators at Riga, the Latvian capital. Senior trainers of both teams were reprimanded, and three trainers were fired. Except for the penalties, it sounds more and more like a late-season junior game in Canada -- or a meeting between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Black Hawks. There'll be a Moscow entry in the NHL yet. e e Vitamin! vitamins; beyond this they do nothing. So that when you take extra vitamins to make you "feel better fast" , to give you "more pep", to make your children have beter appetites or to prevent them from getting so many colds in winter, you are either fooling your- self or being fooled by subtle adver- tising. The notion that if. a little is good, a lot is better is not only false but can be and often is dangerous. Any- one, man, woman or child eating a mixed diet containing meats, vegetables, eggs, butter, fruit and whole milk or cream does not re- quire any additional vitamin, and if additional vitamins are taken, they do no good whatsoever, while certain vitamins given in excess may to harm. We are assailed by more sales pitches for various nostrums than ever before -- even in the 'days of the carnival barkers. The wise course would seem to be to visit a doctor for professional advice, if we suspect we should be peppier or generally healthier than we are, Bible Thought It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. -- Lamenta- tions 3:22. The fact that a Holy God does not strike dead the railing atheist proves just one thing -- not that there is no God -- but that the God who is -- is merciful far beyond our power of comprehension. -- Pe 4 How are You A ' ' ON THE CUBAN RUMBA } "THE BRAZILIAN CONGA i i "a-, OR THE SAIGON |!

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- "London's Cof- fee Houses" is the title of a book which has been -puclished by Allen and Unwin, and written by Bryant Lillywhite, a histor- jan who has devoted many years to research into the London of bygone days. Today, there is a multitude of coffee houses, or as they are generally known, coffee bars, in Grater London. They are to be seon all over this sprawling area. But, judging from the mass of information contained YOUR HEALTH in Mr. Lillywhite's fascinating book, they are an entirely dif- ferent type of establishment from those which existed in earlier centuries. In fact, it would be impossible to con- ceive of present day coffee bars indulging in some of the activi- ties which were quite common a couple of hundred years ago. In their heyday of the past, the London coffee shops had many roles. They housed the district post office, newspaper shops, lost property offices, small-ad counters, chémists' shops and ayction rooms. Some acted as a Stock exchange.

He said the cartilage had worn out and for me to wear a girdle. I never heard of such a thing. Is this common in older people.--Mrs, Jane W. Perhaps he said "'worn" in- stead of "worn out." Between the bones of the spine are discs or cushions of cartilage. In time, they become thinner or "'worn."' This is one of the rea- sons why some old people are not as tall as they were in youth. We all can expect a certain amount of this wearing. It can result in pressure on certain nerves which emerge from the spine, and a suitable girdle (to help hold the back in a better position and relieve pressure) is frequently the answer to such pains. Dear Dr. Molner: I am plan- ning a trip abroad. I have had tetanus, typhoid and smallpox vaccinations. Will a booster of tetanus and typhoid be all that is required or will I have to take the whole series again:-- G.T. : Smallpox must be repeated every three years. You can't get back into this country with- out proof. Tetanus should be repeated every four years but is not mandatory. If you are going to a danger area, have a typhoid booster. Paratyphoid isn't required but it is a good safeguard against TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS ' May 4, 1964... A conference in New York of representatives of the U.S., Soviet Union, Britain and France 15 years ago to- day--in 1949--agreed upon the ending of the Berlin blockade and calling of a meeting df the Council' of Foreign, Ministers on Ger- many's future. They de- cided the blockade would be lifted May 12 and to hold the council meeting in Paris 11 days later. 1947--Jewish underground forces blasted the walls of a Jerusalem prison, freeing 25: prisoners. 1952 -- Riots and fires caused $100,000 damage at Montreal's Bordeaux Jail. i severe intestinal upsets, and I strongly recommend it. Typhoid and paratyphoid are usually combined in one preparation of the vaccine, Dear Dr. Molner: I am 'a teacher, and drink a great deal of milk because of a stomach ulcer. Some one told me recent- ly that kidney siones are form- ed by calcium deposits and that too much milk will cause them. Should I cut down on milk? If I have 'to choose between the ulcer and kidney stones, I'd preper the ulcer.--W. H. A little knowledge can be dangerous. Yes, calcium is one of the constituents in kidney stones, but not because of calcium in the diet. We don't, in fact, know precisely how the stones de- velop, although infections such as kidney infections certainly can stimulate their formation. One can. have painful calcium deposits elsewhere in the body (often in the feet or joints) but not because of milk, Calcium is deposited in those areas as part "of a healing process in irritated or infected parts. You appar- ently do not have kidney stones now but you do have the ulcer. Forget about, "someone's" dreary scare story, and keep on _. drinking milk. tical clubs, And Mr. Lillywhite produces evidence that they were used as siave markets. SLAVES FOR SALE In his book, Mr. Lillywhite deals with the history of nearly 2000 coffee houses, and he pro- duces evidence that the selling of slaves did take place in some of them -- even in London. For instance, we rcad that less than 200 years ago "a black girl, the property of J.B., 11 years of age, who is extremely handy, works at her needle tol- erably and speaks English per- f-ctly well," was sold at the Angel Coffee House off the Strand. Another extract tells of "a precty negro boy about nine years and well limbed'" being on show and offered for sale at the Dolphine Coffee House on Tower street. It was not until the year 1772 that the landing of slaves in Britain was prohibited and slaves were declared free. In his book, Mr. Lillywhite cites eight instances in which the buying and selling of slaves was a regular, practice, FIRST IN 1650 It is noted in the book that the first coffee house on record was opened at Oxford in the year 1650. The first one in Lon- don, it states, was the Pasqua Rosee in St. Michael's Alley, Cornhill. It was established there by a Greek, This brought a petition against it from the publicans of the district, on the grounds that he was not a free- man of the City. To overcome this, the owner turned it over to a coachman named Brown to operate. The Jamaica Coffee House still exists as the Jamaica Tav- ern. It was also in the Corn- hill area, and has the longest un- broken history of any of the present day Landon Coffee Houses. There is an intriguing note regarding the York Coffee House at Blackfriars. According to the author, it was said to have a bar "ornamented by the mildest, modestest, prettiest, best-dressed and most obliging barmaids in the world".

The government is reported to be considering "regulation" of CATV along lines which will constitute a dictatorial interfer- ence with the liberties of all Ca- nadian citizens, and will subju- gate thousands -- perhaps mil- lions--of Canadians into a de- Prived status of second class citizenhip, CATV stands for Community Antenna Television. This is the system whereby Canadians liv- ing in remote areas are en- ab.ed 'to enjoy TV _ entertain- ment comparable to that pro- vided for big cities; it enables Canadians living far from the border to have the same TV amenities as those who live in border cities; it brings the cin- ema into the homes of those who are "shut-in'"' through med- ical or other causes. There are two forms of CATV. One consists of a big costly an- tenna which can pick up dis- tant signals; these are then am- plified and retransmitted along cables into individual homes. This brings in CBC of CTV or U.S. stations, which Canadians living nearer to those stations ean pick up on "rabbits. ears." It is a means whereby a com- munity can co-operatively af- ford what any mi-l'onaire could provide for himself. NOT BROADCASTING The other, sometimes called "cable TV" or "pay TV," does not use this method of broad- casting in any way. It consists of a tape-p'ayer, whence filmed programs are sent along cables to '1'Vsets in individual homes. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO May 4, 1949 Mrs. Jean Magill McNab, Oshawa vocalist, assisted in the program of 168th District of Rotary International annual convention held in Toronto. Oshawa Sea Cadet Corps "Sir Francis Drake" was prais- ed for its versatility and kcen- ness at the annual inspection mdde by Lt.-Commander E. B. Pearce. Defence Minister Claxton an- nounced a 200-house project for the Canadian Artillery School personnel at Pickering. Rev. Ben S. Morwood, pastor of Northminster United Church, accepted a Peterborough call. Cyril Schofield of Oshawa was elected to the executive of the National Home Builders' Asso- ciation. Special yellow and black signs warning motorists of school areas were erected on the street adjacent to Oshawa Schools. Dr. Horace Bascom, sheriff of Ontario County, celebrated his 86th birthday. Fire of unknown origin de- stroyed valuable police records, uniforms and equipment in a small storage room above the station in the Old City Hall. Announcement was made of a reduction in oil prices for Osh- awa and district. Fuel oil would sell at 15.5 cents per gallon; * stove oil for 19 cents and coal oil for 21 cents. This really is the cinema de- livered to your own living room -- an often convenient switch from going out to see similar uilmed programs at a cinema. The yovernment is expected to argue that both these forms of home entertainment bring foreign programs onto the pri- vate TV «set, and thus get around the regulation that Ca- nadian television: broadcasters. must carry 55 per cent of Ca- Nadian programs. . This argument comes within the policy of preserving a na- tional Canadian identity, in- tended to save us from being Americanized through excessive exposure to US. "culture." There are good arguments for insulating from this undesirable swamping only those Canadians who now enjoy CATV. If the government moves to restrict present or future CATV obviously it should treat or mis- treat all Canadians alike. So it Should also restrict cinemas showing foreign films--includ- ing U.S. films--and nightclubs featuring foreign acts, and film rental libraries suppling home projectors, It should prohibit QUEEN'S PARK the erection of large outdoor rie alt ny should an the le any magazine which does not have 55 per cent |.

Universities Get Aid, Also Control BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- There's a new deal for universities. A department of university af- fairs is being established, also a financial assistance corpora- tion. There have been assurances these innovations won't mean more government control of the universities. These are promises that must be taken tongue-in-cheek. Government is setting up new administration machinery and spending more money. In the simple interpretation of the way goverment works, this means more control. It may be possible, however, that the universities will be able to 'keep complete aca- demic freedom--that they. will keep full control of their own curricula But their administrative con- trol will be lessened, MORE USE In a practical sense estab- lishment of the new department should mean more co-ordination in development, and better use of university facilities in the fu- ture. In the initial announcement regarding the department great stress was placed on "'co-ordin- ation," It could be gathered that ef- forts would be made to see, not only that there was no un- necessary duplication of new facilities in the great expansion now underway, but also that better use was made of pres- ent plants.and equipment. Although this was not ac- tually said, one could foresee ef- forts for things such as year- round courses and perhaps even inter-change of teachers, QUICK MONEY The financial assistance cor- poration will make it possible for the universities to get ahead without delay in their building programs. ' The corporation will buy uni- versity bonds or debentures and thereby provide the money for quick expansion. This does not mean that pri- vate funds will not be needed in the future. In fact one of the objectives of the new department will be to devise ways and means of getting more private money for the schools. Assistance by the corporation will be strictly in the nature of a loan. But it will provide a ready source of funds so that the uni- versities: don't have to wait un- til they have collected private money to get underway with expansion, Greland. UDIO 21 ATHOL ST.
