he Oshawa Zimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L.Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1964----PAGE 6 | ye Nehru Complex Person But Towering Figure Another towering figure of our time is gone. The stature of India's Nehru was best shown by the world- wide reaction to news of his death. The moving tributes came from free-nation and Communist capitals alike -- except for China, of course. Abdullah, the Lion of Kashmir, had been jailed by Nehru and only re- cently released, but he wept when Nehru died. A Pakistani delegate at an international conference al- most broke down when the news was announced during his speech -- and Pakistan and India have been at odds almost from the time they: won independence. His influence in international affairs was strong through the 1950s, but declined as his health deteriorated in the Sixties -- and, it must be admitted,.as the incon- sistencies in Nehru's own nature became more apparent. The inconsistencies were many. Sometimes thev revealed -the strength of this complex man, some- times the weakness. A He led India's fight for indepen- dence but had a deep respect for British institutions, and to his death spoke English more fluently than his native language. He went to prison for his activities on behalf of independence, but treasured the Commonwealth. He was the very image of the man of peace, dedi- cated to rational rather than emo- tional solutions, yet in his own sub- continent he could be ruthless, in- transigent and not shy of violent settlement of problems -- as in Kashmir and Goa. He had a tre- mendous admiration of parliamen- tary democracy, but was curiously, complaisant about the totalitarian- ism of Communism. Frequently his in-bred suspicion of Western colon- ialism blinded him to the obvious fact that while it was on the wane, Communist imperialism was waxing. The big question now is whether his successor can keep India on the democratic and _ responsible course that he charted. UN Secretary's Error Every country has its absurd politician who manage to attract the support of the ignorant, the extre- mists and the lunatic fringe, and who make enough noise to per- suade themselves and the unin- formed that they are important. Canada, for example, has had many of this type in the past. At the moment we have Caouette. The United States has Barry Gold- water. When Senator Goldwater set out to make himself a national figure, his pronouncements. on: interna- tional affairs horrified large num- bers of people in and out of the United States. But the more he talked, the more it became apparent that Mr. Goldwater had not yet entered the 20th century, and his chances of ever becoming some- thing more than a senator from Arizona depended on the. majority of U.S. citizens suddenly being afflicted with mass madness. In the unlikely event of his winning the Republican presidential nomina- tion, his chance of becoming presi- dent is about equal to that of Mr. Pearson's being named the patron saint of the IODE. UN Secretary-General U Thant was building up-an eroding figure, then, when he. took a swipe at Senator Goldwater this week after the senator's absurd proposal that nuclear bombs be used to destroy the foliage of Viet Nam jungle. Unfortunately, U Thant did not stop there. He went on to suggest that a racial factor was involved in the bombing proposal.He recalled that there was "the widespread feeling" that H-bombs were dropped on Japan because the inhabitants were not white, and that the bombs would not have been dropped on Nazi Germany. 2 U Thant has already weakened the secretary-generalship with his uncertain handling of the Cyprus situation. He will destroy it if he uses the reckless burblings of ex- tremists to whet the knives of racial antagonism in the world. The Magic Of Words It was our impression that gar- bagemen had been given the more genteel name of "sanitary engin- eers"- some time ago, but appar- _ enfly there were such specialists already in existence and the old name was continued. Now we learn that the Milwaukee Garbage Col- lection Independent union has asked that city's council to dignify the garbage collector with a sparkling new title, "public works combus- tible field man," which should Satisfy the most sensitive collec- tor. It also inspires the Milwaukee Journal to the folowing comment: This opens a soaring new world of horizons limited only by the imagination. Take the ditch digger. Why not make him a "manual ex- ¢avation specialist'? The gardener might become a "horticultural con- servation consultant" and a service station attendant a "petroleum fuel 'and lubricant dispenser."

Other Editors' Views NONSENSE (Peterborough Examiner) Too much nonsense has been spoken about people from lands vastly different from Canada being assimilated into the national blood- stream.

McINTYRE HOOD | Special London (Eng.) i Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Paddington, one of London's most crowded bor: oughs, in a district which owed its original development to the coming of the railways, is about to undergo the second revolu- tion in its history. Early in the last century the Paddington district was an area of green fields and wooded land- scape. With the coming of the railways, acres of terraces of YOUR HEALTH What About houses and squares of brick and stucco apartment blocks cover- ed the lush green fields. Now these, in turn, are having to give way to the modern de- velopment of thrusting sky- scraper towers of what are known in this country as "coun- cil flats".

By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner:' When I bring a little bit of candy to my young grandchildren, my daughter says it is not good for them. They are healthy, and I give them one or two pieces only if they eat their meals.--Mrs. A.H. No, I can't reasonably say that "a little bit of candy" is bad for children. But neither can I say that children need any candy at all. They can grow up in. perfect health without ever tasting it. Too much candy can ruin their eating habits, their teeth and affect their general well-be- ing. I can only guess at-what you mean by "a little bit" 'and "Only one or two pieces." If you mean one or two candy bars, then I must say that it is topo much. Besides why not let your daughter decide what you can give the children -- things like balloons, toys or-fames? Or perhaps an apple or an orange. Come now, be a good grand- mother, and obey the rules that have been established for these youngsters, Dear Dr. Molner: I am four months pregnant and have been taking five-grain quinine pills for my cold, My friends say if I don't stop I will lose the baby or it will be born deformed. What is your opinion--Mrs, R.S, Quinine reduces fever but has no other specific effect on a cold, In large doses and in sen- sitive individuals, quinine can cause abortion, What effect, if any, it may have on the baby is uncertain, Since we don't know, I would not use quinine {in early pregnancy, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 29, 1964...

The report emphasizes the dif- ficulties which face the local borough council im this second revolution in Paddington's his- tory. There is no vacant land in the borough on which new housing development can take place. Before new homes can be built, the present old houses have to be emptied and their occupants moved elsewhere. The London County Council began its main attack on Pad- dington's housing problems back in the 1950's, when a sur- vey showed that 21 per cent of its population lived in over- crowded quarters. The council bought a number of large estates from the England Commissioners. and drew up plans for the complete redevelopment of some and the rehabilitation of others. These plans are now begin- ning to produce tangible results, By the end of 1963, the London County Council had completed 1,084 new homes, had a further 854 in. process of construction and had plans made for 504 more. The Paddington borough council; as its share, had com- pleted 1,436 post war homes. SOME ACHIEVEMENTS Among the noteworthy achievements under this revolu- tion was the building of the Maida Vale Estate, made up of slim 18-storey. bloeks, surround- ed by green open space and backed by ranges of garages to form a prominent landmark, At Warwick Estate, an area of 54 acres is being developed in a neighborhood known as "stinking Paddington", because of the large dumps of rubbish and ashes along the banks of the cut. Close by Hyde Park's Marl- borough Gate lies Barrie Estate, where the ruins of large Vic- torian houses and their asso- ciated stables and mews have given way to 11 and six-storey blocks which include 30 one- room apartments specially suit- able for single professional and clerical workers who need. to live in Paddington. These projects are but the be- ginning of the revolution which will result in a new and modern Paddington taking the place of the overcrowded slum condi- tions which have been all too prevalent in some sections of the borough. BY-GONE DAYS "35 YEARS AGO May 29, 1939 Miss Pearl Fletcher, daugh- ter of Rev. and Mrs. W. P. Fletcher, was appointed assist- ant to Rev, F. J.

This year, according to the overnment spending estimates aid before Parliament by Fi- nance Minister Walter Gordon, the CBC is asking you to pay $88,000,000 in taxes to finance its deficit, This figure is the cost of its operation, over and above the commercial revenue which OBC is able to earn, from QUEEN'S PARK advertisements and by selling its productions. The number 13 is popularly regarded as unlucky. This be- comes very true to the taxpay- ers, if we compare today's CBC costs with what they were 13 years ago. While total govern- ment spending has not 'quite doubled since 1951, the cost of th: CBC to the taxpayer has soared to $88,000,000 from a total $6,703,513,508 this Mi This is approximately' every Canadian; it means that the average Canadian family must pay $1,400 in direct and hidden taxes to Ottawa to meet government spending. The 11 most costhy depart- ments of government swallow $5,917 million of the total of $6,- 704 million to be spent by the government, These 11 depart- ments are expected to spend this year these amounts. National defence $1,525,000,- 000; finance $1,450,000,000; na- tional healht and welfare §1,- 264,000,000; veterans affairs $331,000,000; transport $323,000,- 000; public works $233,000,000; labor $228,000,000; post office $209,000,000; agriculture $140,- 000,000; external affairs $124,- 00,000; northern affairs $90,- modest $1,928,600--an increase * 90,000 of nearly 50-fold. WHAT OTTAWA SPENDS The total estimated expendi- ture by the 37 more important departments. and agencies of. the federal government will' Significant Move . On Water Supply BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Finally there has been action--and good action-- on water. The government has an- nounced it will build a pipeline from Lake Huron to London. And it will sell water to muni- cipalities along the route -- 'at cost, This is a most significant step, one of the most significant of the Robarts government since taking office. NEW GIANT Electricity is supplied by Hy- dro, a publicly owned utility. And now' water will be sup- plied by the water resources commission, another public util- ity. The commission may never * catch up to 'Hydro in size, But still one day it will be a giant. And, in fact, it already is very big business, either spending or supervising spending on con- struction at the rate of $115,- 000,000 a year. NEW POLICY The decision that the province would build and operate the London pipeline is completely new policy. It has been long overdue, READERS' VIEWS FLAG ISSUE Dear Sir: Dont' you think in an honest opinion that this flag issue has gone a little too,far?. It has just become a big political farce. Parliament is just lap- ping it up and playing it for all it. is worth instead of get- ting down to real business con- cerning the unity of the Cana- dian people. I think we should have a flag of our own and so does the government. So why don't they do something or are they afraid they might' hurt some- body in doing so? After all, we voted these people into power to act on our behalf and if we didn't have too much faith in their judg- 'ment we shouldn't have voted for them in the first place. S. SKERROW. Oshawa. It was becoming increasingly evident that Ontario was get- ting to a critical stage on water supply. And it was becoming obvious fo experts that the province would have to take over directly to meet the problem. The existing policy has been that the municipalities should take the responsibility, with the water commission acting as a co-ordinator and building agent, This hasn't worked. And knowing the way our municipal- ities, with their diverse inter- ests and outlooks, hardly ever can join together, it never would work, The key situation has been in London. There the city has been taking water from deep. wells. And the adjoining municipali- ties have resented this for years because they felt the city was lowering their water tables. When it came to planning a pipeline the city and the other municipalities just couldn't see eye to eye at all. This situation -- in Premier Robarts' home town -- finally turned the tables. . And now we are launched on a practical water policy. OTHERS SOON The London line unquestion- ably will only be the first in a big public system. Already surveys have been ordered for the Brampton and Leamington areas. And there will be further studies and construction of pipe- lines in other water-short areas to follow. The next largest expense, for any department or agency of the federal government covered by the estimates, is the CBC at $88,000,000. : CHEAPER THAN CBC : Then we come to the depart- ments and agencies which cost the taxpayer less than the CBC, These include national revenue at $87,000,000, citizenship and immigration at $77,000,000, Royal Canadian Mounted Police at $71,000,000, mines and tech- nical surveys at $70,000,000, na- tional research council at $58,- 000,000, justice at $52,000,000, and so on, The entire apparatus of the mounties, musical ride and all the network of immigration of- ficials at our ports of entry and around the world; the huge staff of tax officials, collectors and assessors, in offices and also at our ports; the anmy of brilliant scientists working on technical and medical improve- ments of our national lot--each of these wonderful and benefi- cial services costs us less than the CBC. ' Could the expense to the tax- payer of this TV and radio serv- ice be reduced? This question is being asked by uneasy MPs who have become well aware that the CBC has wantonly and extravagantly built its own em- pires in many fields where bet- ter service could be hired more cheaply outside--news - gather- ing and building - construction are two obvious PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Most girls insist they wouldn't marry the best man in the world -- and later prove it in a bi, way. A lot of time and money spent trying to protect from themselves -- most wasted. A psychologist says women act dumb in attract men. Some of aren't acting. 4 ' r place where a safety belt is badly needed is for the seat on the water wagon. The Prince Philip Chapter of the .s Oo. D. E. wishes to express grateful appreciation to Lt.
