ie ada men 0 gg, 9 -- Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MAY 20; 1964---PAGE 6 Sad, Sad Commentary in Age Of Space Sudbury Star points out edi- that it is a sorrowful com- on "our times" that many 1964 Pulitzer Prizes in jour- n have been won for news- exposes of fraud and corrup- and editorial attacks on cor- e Pulitzer prizes were en- dowed by Joseph Pulitzer (1847- 1911) publisher of the New York World, in a bequest to Columbia University. They are awarded annu- ally for work done during the pre- ceding year. Said the Star: The St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times received the Pulitzer gold medal for public service. The né@wspaper conducted a year-long investigation of the Florida Turn- pike Authority and uncovered wide- spread illegal acts and reckless spending of public funds. 'Norman C. Miller, of the Wall Street Journal, won the general ptize for local reporting for his - thorough account of the multi-mil- lion dollar swindle in the bankruptcy of the Allied. Crude Vegetable Oil atid Refining Corporation in New Jersey. A three-man team of two reporters and a photographer on the Philadelphia Bulletin shared a prize for local investigative report- ing. They were cited for their ex- pose of number-racket operations with police collusion in South Phil- adelphia. Their work resulted in 18 dismissals and suspensions from the police department. An_ editorial writer for the Lexington (Miss.) Advertiser won a prize for her writing which included attacks on corruption. Mrs. Hazel Brandon Smith was cited for "steadfast ad- herence to her editorial duty in the face of great pressure and opposi- tion," : "Although there is pride in win- ning such awafds, it brings no pleasure to newspapers and their editorial staffs that exposures of graft, corruption, unlawful acts and reckless spending of public funds are the starting points of the work that wins the awards. It is a shock- ing thing that people in public life or public service, as well as in pri- vate business, should permit greed to become the governing force in their lives. For it is greed that fathers corruption, N o Conscience Salve Woolly, patronizing replies to his questions were offered recently to My. Latulippe, the Creditiste MP, who wanted to be assured that baby seals will not again be skinned alive inthe Gulf of St. Lawrence. Baid the Ottawa Journal: "In the name of Fisheries Minister Rebichaud, Mr. Latulippe was told that yes, indeed, there had been hundreds of letters of protest but the department could no say how y had been caused by people seeing films of the seal hunt. Yes, the hunt was supervised by Fish- erles officers and reports contain- ing information 'on all aspects of sealing operations' had been re- eeived by the minister. More restric- tive regulations would be in effect before the opening of the 1965 season but in the meantime no hunters had been fined or lost their licences. "On April 22 Mr. Robichaud was asked by Conservative Michael Starr whether he had taken any immediate action to stop the inhumane slaugh- ter of baby seals. The minister replied sharply that this question had been brought before the House on many occasions and he hoped to present Wislation which would be satisfactory." The Journal continued: "These replies sound evasive to people who expect the Government to give a flat assurance that hunters will never again skin live seals with impunity. Great offence has been done the public conscience by the revelation that such cruelty was possible and the Fisheries Minister and his officials are mistaken if they think their statesments satisfy anyone but themselves." Capital Venture Blocked * Canadian unwillingness to parti- cipate in risk capital ventures is a regular source of finger pointing. Bat it is hard to reconcile this with what happens when someone tries to indulge in the same thing, com- ménts the Kitchener- Waterloo Record. The Air Transport Board has re- jected the application of a man to set up an air service linking Kitch- éner-Waterloo, Ottawa and Mont- real. This rejection, according to a report from Ottawa, was primarily based on the failure of Nordair which attempted to run a service between Sarnia, Hamilton, Ottawa and Montreal, the paper continues. Because there is departmental control, there is no freedom of en- ,tetprise in commercial flying. But 'atthe same time the reason given ishardly good enough to stand scfutiny.

It's difficult to see how the pro- posed new service could have hurt TCA, which, after all, does not ser- vice the local airport, the Record concludes. Other Editors' Views WHAT'S SO NEW? (Vancouver Sun. We're afraid we can't get very excited over the news that Eng- lish farmers have developed a syn- thetic sow that mothers orphaned piglets. The synthetic sow, a long metal tank filled with warm water and covered with a layer of soft latex foam rubber, is admittedly ingen- ious, It has a built-in tape recorder that sdothes with low, contented grunts,. an electric heater that maintains a constant, warm tem- perature, and another device that warms the milk as it flows through tubes connected to rubber nipples on the side of the tank: 3ut we've had a contraption like this for years. We call it govern- ment. & . 'TIS SPRING READER'S VIEWS IS THERE ANY JUSTICE? Dear Sir: In the last two months I have been involved in two incidents which I consider to be the per- sonification of injustice. First, I had an appliance re- pairman in to repair my elec- tric stove. I paid him $16 when the part was returned and in- stalled. Two days later the part was not working again and my repair man refused to return. Then last Sunday I parked my car between two signs which clearly read: 'No overnight parking". When I returned I found a $2 parking ticket on my car, I asked the policeman (who was still sitting in his car) why I got a ticket, to be told that some children had removed an elastic band which covered the "overnight". I still had to pay. On both occasions, I consulted a-lawyer, only to be told that he would not be interested in handling any case under $25. Where is justice? Where is the Canadian democracy? Where do I find it? Yours faithfully, ERNEST SIENENWRIGHT 43 Division street, 2 JOBS FOR STUDENTS -- Dear Sir: IT am a student atiending The University of Western Ontario. Last week I finished my exam- inations along with the rest of my freinds from this city and many others, and I returned home for the summer. This of course is nothing exciting to hear, since most students are back from their universities by now. The thing i have to com- plain about however, is the em- YOUR HEALTH Comment On Whiplash Ills By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Your col- umn on whiplash injuries was thorough up to a point. I feel that you neglected the serious- ness of this type of injury. Two members of my family, teen-age girls, received such in- juries when their automobiles were struck from the rear. One girl after three years of every known therapy still suf- fers great pain and mental anguish. Her doctor says she is permanently injured and must curtail all activities inat cause stress and strain. The other has made better progress and only occasionally suffers muscular discomfort. Is there a chance of perma- nent cure for whiplash? Has anything new been discovered? ¥. Whiplash is a neck injury which comes from a certain type of stress--the sudden whip- ping of the head forward or , back. It is not necessarily the same injury in all cases. Most decidedly 'it is not the same in severity, either. As to seriousness, it can be as you describe. It can be worse. It can paralyze or kill. It also can be no more than @ minor annoyance for a*few days. Muscles, bones, nerves or cartilage can be damaged, or some combination of them. Year by year new methods of therapy are being developed for Ql) kinds of injuries, but not , A ployment situation in this city and many of the rest. For most of my high school years, I had it drilled into my head that I should continue my education as far as possible. This was something I agreed with completely and so did not try to buck it at all. I attended Central Collegiate and one of the features of our school year was career day. Once every year the different representa- tivs of the various factories and institutions would come and explain the workings of their plants and point out the opportunities for young men and women if they had an edu- cation. One thing which they did not tell most of us is that while we are trying to get this education that the chance of ob- taining summer employment is next to nil. University students have a rough time of it for the most part, There are very few who do not have to worry about get- ting money for the next year. Everyone seems to be clamor- ing for students to continue to school but, are not willing to employ them in the interval. In many instances, factories in the city are practising dis- crimination against university students. I think that it is in- deed a hypocritical society that with one breath recommends higher education and provides grants to the institutions and with the next breath tells stu- dents that they are not eligible to work in their factory. I do not say that university students should be given special treat- ment, but, they should at least specifically for whiplash cases, Surgical and other care is steadily improving for wounds, but not for those from any single source. Basic improve- ments are not limited if a. wound happens to be from a stab, a bullet, or being impaled. By the same token, care of neck injuries applies as much to a person who is injured by diving into shallow water as to one who is hurt in an automo- bile accident, Unhappily, I have even had acquaintanceship with people who, from the moment they heard the word whiplash, began having--or thought they had-- bizarre symptoms with nothing to do with the neck injury. Sometimes the most search» ing neurological tests are re- quired to separate the real from the pretended. Such tests, in some cases, have finally caused injured persons to give up try- ing to press lawsuits for large sums. (And, incidentally, they then recovered with astonishing speed.) I by no means imply that whiplash injury is not necessar- ily serious. It can be. I do simply plead that the word whiplash be accepted for what it is. Just calling it neck injury might, indeed, be better for everybody, NOTE TO MRS. E.M.B.: The cause of muscular dystrophy is not known, but hereditary fac- tors are strongly suspected. 7 get CTIRRING SAP- Bune ye" Susy be given an equal opportunity for employment as the ordinary Person on the street. Believe it or not, the univer- sity students are a very small but, an extremely important part of your society, for some day they will be running the affairs of this city, this prov- incé, and this country. The per- centage of people attending uni- versity is very small in com- parison to the number of people who enter high school. The least that employers could qo is to at least make it possible for students to obtain a job in the summer in order to continue their education. It seems a very small request to make since the employers will probably benefit from the education which they help to provide by their granting a job to a student. Education is important to this society! However, in order to obtain an education one has to have money to pay for the costs. I hope this may reach the ears of someone who will show a little mercy in this cut- throat society in which we live, or rather exist. --GLEN LEE Oshawa TODAY IN HISTORY B yTHE CANADIAN PRESS May 20, 1964... The Germans began a parachute and glider inva- sion of the mountainous is- land of Crete 23 years ago today --in 1941 -- to estab- lish sea communications in the Aegean and provide fields for air action against Middle East and Mediter- ranean shipping routes. Of the 27,550 imperial troops garrisoning the island, 14,- 580 had been evacuated by the end of May.

No, But it has already caused an alarming fall in the prestige of Parliament, It is simply not true that the widespread criticism of Parlia- ment's recent conduct is "'cyni- cal and misinformed;" as Mr. D. asserted. : , Much nearer the truth is the admission of Stanley Knowles, experienced New Democratic MP, that "'there is some justi- fication for the general view that things are not as they ought to be in the House of Commons." Parliament Hill, 1962-1964 vin- tage, falls sadly short of the golden age of legislatures when wisdom and oratory and gentle- manly behavior and public spirit all seemed to flourish and to flourish together. Several factors have contributed to this, the weakness of certain Speak- ers; _ personal bitterness be- tween certain party leaders; the tratment of our national legis- lature as a partisan hustings; the introduction into our na- tional legislature of the undig- -- behavior of the union hall. NEW RULES BENEFIT The daily shameful brawl into which Question Period had de- scended has now largely been corrected, by the introduction of new rules. This desirable step has been brought about through the initiative of the special committee on procedure and organization. But it is significant that these new rules are merely the spell- ing out in writing of what in the golden age had been under- stood and accepted tradition and precedent. Much credit for this step must go to Stanley Knowles himself. But his comment de- serves attention: "I must say that rules alone, no matter how good they are, won't do the job of making Parliament all that it ought to be. There has to be mutual respect and "give and take." We need a good government and a good opposition. What Parliament needs most & gf ts & = ve Parliame aker.

As amended they are quite different from the original bills. Protections for the individual --such as right to counsel--are now spelled out. The bills are weaker, but they are no longer objection- able. Apparently there is still some resentment among the law of- ficers at the reaction to the in- itial Bill 9. Attorney-General Arthur Wis- hart indirectly expressed this in the House. Mr. Wishart, obviously some- what put out, said the press had "created a great fear and ap- prehension in the mind of the public" about Bill 9. Specifically, he said, there BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO May 20, 1939 $. J. Collacutt, commodore of the Oshawa Yacht Club, do- nated a number of Lombardy poplars as part of the club's five-year beautification plan. The single unemployed men of Oshawa went on a sit-down strike in the council chambers because they had been remov- ed from the city's relief lists. They refused to leave even for a free dinner which the Legion Ladies' Auxiliary offered to pre- pare for them in the Legion Hall. Port Perry's oldest resident, William Willard, died in his 99th year, as the result of an acci- dent. The Oshawa and District In- dustrial Softball Association was organized with Walter Branch as president and Johnny Brady, vice-president. : Mrs. Jull, wife of Rev. P. L. Jull, died at her 'home in Brook- lin, after a lengthy illness. She 'and Mr. Jull had celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary a few days before her death. Rev. W. R. Stringer, rector of Christ Memorial Anglican Church, was ordained at St. James Cathedral, Toronto. Charles E. McTavish was elected president of the Oshawa Rotary Club for the 1939-40 Ro- tary year.
