owed toe iz ~~ po Published--by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1964--PAGE 6 Cottage Developments 'Could Ruin Lake Area Toronto promoters have plans for huge cottage-resort develop- ments on Georgina Island in Lake Simcoe and Chief Island, the Indian property in Lake Couchiching. These promotions should be stopped 'forthwith, and the Ontario govern- ' ment should step in to ensure that ' the unspoiled character of the islands is preserved. and that the Indian bands involved do not suffer loss of revenue as a 'result. Cottages are already massed in the Couchiching-Simcoe area, which has also seen a tremendous increase in boat traffic. A pollution problem is developing in the lakes, as a re- sult. This can be made more acute if thousands more cottages are packed on islands in the lakes, for the residents could not help but substantially to the pollution al- ready entering the lake from shore establishments and the boats plying the Trent-Severn waterway. The road traffic to and from the Lake Simcoe area on weekends is already at the critical stage. This would inevitably be increased, and the demands would come for still more roads -- a service which could only be provided at the expense of the rest of the province. Those are not the only objections, The Orillia Packet and Times, which rightly says that the cottage devel- opments would be a major disaster for the entire area, comments that "the addition of ten thousand cot- tages, crammed together on this island, would destroy the character of the existing recreational facilities on both sides of the lake, and the removal of this wild life preserve nd the pressure of the additional population on the remaining fishery would destroy a priceless area asset." A Matter Of Silence In a world that is harsh, noisy and hurried, we need poets and philosophers, and we need to listen , to them. That is what a convoca- | tion at the University of Western ' Ontario was told the other night by Dr. Ivan C. Rand, retired dean | of the university. Most thoughtful people will agree wth Dr. Rand, but not without a slight feeling of unease and frus- tration. _ One of the rarest and most pre- ' elous commodites these days is silence -- and to listen to poets and philosophers we must have silence, if we are to hear what they have to gay. But we are assailed by noise -- the noise of the machines we have created, of the voices we insist on using, of the broadcast pacifiers we have persuaded our- selves we need. We rush to fill any ' little pockets of silence that may be felt, as though we were afraid of the thoughts that might crowd in on us if there were no noise to blot out our inner, disturbing mental processes. Or is it that we fear the absence of noise would reveal the Conferences We are in a period of dialogue. One of these months some other word to describe the tiffs, argu- ments and other pleasantries in which various groups become in- volved will become fashionable. But right now it is dialogue -- as in "dialogue between English-speaking and French-speaking Canada," even though that often sounds more like a monologue. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, which has been going on in Geneva since late March, was not expected by any realistic observer to produce some inspirational plan for bridging the gap between rich and poor nations. But it is being described as the beginning of what could be a pro- ductive dialogue between the devel- oped and underdeveloped areas -- and that in itself would be a worth- while accomplishment.

If more-than two of us gather for a luncheon or dinner, we must have a speaker to prevent us from getting bored with each other. We must have background music with our meals, at our work and at our play. Or must we? Perhaps we don't -- but those people who decide for us that we digest, work or play better to the accompaniment of some saccharine tune do not bother to ask us about it, because they know that we are the willing victims of noise; if we were unwilling, we should do something about it. Even if we had the silence, how- ever, there would still be a problem, one of communication. Has Dr. Rand listened to the poets who are mouthing their verse these days? It is questionable even they -- or most of them -- understand what they are trying to say. So many people involved in the arts these days make such a virtue of non-com- munication that one suspects even the artists of fearing silence, and what it might mean in the way of quiet thought. On Trade ternational trade organization to re- place existing ones and, presum- ably, give more consideration to their problems. Industrial countries contended that existing organiza- tions were adequate. The inevitable compromise provides that trade and development conferences be held periodically, perhaps every three years, under United Nations auspices. Continuity between ses- sions would be assured by a special commission. If the commission chairmanship goes -- as now seems likely -- to Dr. Raul Prebisch, the brilliant and indefatigable Argen- tine economist, prospects will be good for concrete and constructive results, It was Prebisch 'who, almost single-handedly, brought. about the Geneva meeting. As chief standard bearer for the underdeveloped na- tions, he, perhaps more than anyone else, has impressed upon the indus- trial countries the great urgency of the "revolution of rising expecta- tions." Other Editors' Views MORE HONEST Milwaukee Journal Nyasaland, a British territory, will become the free and independ- ent nation of Malawi in July. Dr. Hastings Banda, the prime minis- ter, says that Malawi's foreign pol- icy will be that of "discretionary alignment and neutralism'. This seems to mean that Malawi will be neutral on the side of whoever it feels will do the most good at the moment. That's what most neutrals do. Dr. Banda is just more honest than most. She Oshawa Zimes STOCK MARKET REACTION REPORT FROM U.K. Blame Death Toll On Poor Highways By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng,) Correspondent oFr The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The record death toll as a result of accidents on the highways at the Whitsunday holiday weekend has been the means of stirring up a massive demand for the building of more motorways and the improve- ment generally of the road sys- tem in Britain, The final figures show that over 100 people lost their lives in traffic accidents over the four-day period of the holiday weekend. And an analysis of these accidents reveals two major causes for the accidents, These were bad roads and in- experienced drivers. One of the noteworthy points which is being hammered home by the advocates of a drive for better roads is that not a single one of the fatalities of that holi- day weekend occurred on the country's motorways, This is being impressed on minister. of transport Ernest Marples as a telling. argument, from a safety standpoint, for more motorways and improved highways. ORGANIZATION PLEAS The strongest demands for road improvement are coming from organizations associated with roads and with motoring. The Roads Campaign Council is calling for a more urgent atti- tude to road building, and for the minister to adopt a plan which it has put forward for another 17,000 miles of motor- ways and express highways. The much more militant Motoring Defence League is de- manding that responsibility for motoring be taken away from Mr. Marples, and for the ap- pointment of a separate minis- ter of motoring. Its adminis- trator, Peter Van Raat, said: "We are not anti-Marples as a minister of transport, but he has proved himself completely fnadequate to deal with motor- 'Ing problems. He handed the railway problem to Dr. Beech- ing, and now he should allow someone to tackle the chaotic road situation." From the Royal Automobile Club came this statement: "The only solution is to im- prove our roads, employ more traffic engineers and give great- er attention to the education of new drivers." A spokesman. for the Automo- bile Association said: : "This is a shocking. price to pay for a fine weekend. We can- not afford to rely solely on human judgment, which has too often proved to be fallible." From fhe Royal Society for the Prevention of. Accidents comes this blast: : "The weekend's events indi- cate that with the major social problems there appears to be a lunatic fringe no matter the na- ture of the problem. There is a similarity between hooliganism TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 9, 1964... Wartime control and ra- tioning of all dairy products in Canada ended 17 years ago, today--in 1947. Price control of goods 'began to take full effect in 1941 'and food rationing was intro- duced. in 1942. Decontrol be- gan in 1946 and was com- pleted by early 1950. 1870 -- Novelist Charles Dickens died 1904 -- The London Sym- phony Orchestra's first con- cert 'was held, at seaside resorts and the irre- sponsible behaviour of some road users," Lord Chesham, parliamentary secretary to the ministry of transport, speaking in the ab- sence in Mexico of Mr. Marples, said that the figures for the Whit holiday traffic accidents were utterly disheartening. But he would not comment on the widespread demands for a greatly accelerated program of motorway and express road building. YOUR HEALTH Nevertheless, the pressure of the ministry of transport to at- tack what is considered to be the main cause of traffic acci- dents -- the inadequacy of Brit- ain's system of first class roads -- has become too strong to be ignored, and the pleas for a road-building program of great- er magnitude than anything pre- 'viously attempted are not like- ly to go unheeded by the minis- ter of transport and the govern- ment, While large sums of money have been ear-marked for road-building over the next five years, even these will not be sufficient to create the kind of road system which is being demanded. And regardless of which political party is in power after the October general elec- tion, the problem of Britain's roads will still remain as a major problem crying out for solution. Knowledge Gained In 'Odd' Projects By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Skimming through the little magazine, Medicine at Work, I happened upon the quotation of a remark by Prof. Paul B. Sears, of Yale, as follows: "We have had a rash of ridicule at which seem unrelated to prac- tical life. Around 1915 the hu- morists had a field day over a thesis at Johns Hopkins en- titled; .A Proper Diet for White Mice." The jokesmiths used to have a lot of fun with Albert Ein- stein's abstruse theories, albeit with a certain measure of re- spect underlying them, but I haven't heard any since atomic power came out of his theories. A scientist for whom I worked as a young man used to tell about the ridicule heaped on public health inspectors who went around getting samples of water from community pumps. Sometimes they had to sneak up to the pumps at night be- cause of public outcry against them: But that was the key to stopping typhoid. Only the other day an out- standing surgeon explained how some of the modern heart oper- ations are performed and how they were developed. He drop- ped the phrase, 'Another re- sult of experiments with dogs. That's where all of this came from," & Doubtless, if anyone with a taste for ridiculing such things, had noticed it at the time, there might have been some smart- aleck jokes about the money spent in learning how to grow chicken pox germs, "What do we want them for?" somebody might have asked. Well, learning how to grow chicken pox virus showed how to grow polio virus, too, and that was a vital step in mak- GALLUP POLL research projects" ing it possible to make polio vaccine. (The "chicken pox growers" won a Nobel Prize for their work.) I suppose there are some worthless research projects-- but not if it. can be helped by people who award money for these projects. They try, natur- ally, to be sure that every pro- ject is potentially valuable. It is true that a lot of pro- jects "fail" in the sense of. not achieving a "cure" or a full ex- planation of some fact or other. But even this work is of value, It shows how not to do something, as well as adding to the total knowledge about a subject. 5 Dear Dr. Molner: There is a solution containing aluminum chloride to prevent perspira- be Plena are. the ingredients? It is a 10 to 25 per cent solu- tion of aluminum chloride in water. Pat the liquid onto the skin and let it dry. The stronger solution may be irritating. The weaker one will be less so and still be effective. Dear Dr. Molner: My young son has rheumatic fever. I found out about it several months ago. His tonsils and adenoids have been removed since then. He is now on peni- cillin. Do you agree with this treatment?--L.L. Yes, absolutely. This is the recognized treatment, and its good effect has been thoroughly proved. The penicillin may be given once a day, in tablet form or injected once a month, using a larger dose in a form which will be absorbed gradually. The purpose is to prevent new, attacks of rheumatic fever and the great risk of serious heart damage if such attacks do recur, Most Canadians Back School Sex Education By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) During the past two decades the climate of public opinion has remained the same on whether or not students should be given sex education in our high schools. More than seven-in-ten per- sons approve a course of study in sex. In 1943 the same propor- tion said they favored sex edu- cation in high schools. Slightly more women (78 per cent) than men:.(74 per cent) want some form of sex informa- tion given to teenagers. The following trend question was asked in 1943 and again to- day: "It has been suggested that a course in sex education be given to students in high schools, Do you approve or dis- approve?" Dis- No Approve approve Opinion 1943 76 Todayy 76 17 7 Men 74 16 10 Women 78 17 'mer Shakespeare Collection Montreal Man's Pride MONTREAL (CP)--Montreal engineer Sidney Fisher is much in demand these days, now that William Shakespeare's birth 400 years ago is being commemor- ated. Mr. Fisher talks about the Bard of Avon as if he knew him personally, and a look into his Town of Mount Royal home con- firms that he practically does. In one room, shelves stretch- ing from floor to ceiling hold what he believes is the "prin- cipal" privately owned Shakes- peare collection in the world. This includes some of the re- nowned First Folios (the first collected edition of Shakes- peare's plays), the books Shakespeare read, books refer- ring to the Bard written during his lifetime or in the century after his death, and works about the literature, life and manners of the time. Then there are the maps and drawings of Shakespeare's Lon- don. These occupy a garage now converted into another li- brary. Altogether the collection in- cludes about 500 items, Books from the Sidney T. Fisher col- lection can be seen each sum- at Ontario's Stratford Shakespearean Festival, . Uni- versities borrow his books. QUEEN'S PARK Some are on display at Massey College, University of Toronto, and Mr. Fisher has donated two folios to Canadian universities. ance also in demand as a lec- rer. MANUSCRIPTS GONE Mr, Fisher calls the appear- ance of Shakespeare's First Fo- lios "the greatest event in the history of literature.". They are the closest thing to the original manuscripts, none of which is believed to exist 5 Two of Shakespeare's fellow actors, John Hemic and Henry Condell, published the first col- lection of his plays in 1623, About 600 copies were sold at about £1 each. The First Folio of 36 plays was reprinted three times, as were the Second Folio in 1632, Third Folio in 1663-64. and Fourth Folio in 1685. All are ex- tremely valuable today. "It is generally believed that about 600 copies of each were printed and about 100 or s0 copies of each have survived." Mr. Fisher says it now is known that the type for the First Folio was partly set from manuscripts in Shakespeare's handwriting. "Shakespeare suffered more than most of his contemporar- ies from careless editors and Sargent Not Quite Ready For Top Job BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Eddie--you love him. 3 No more likeable character has come into this House in re- cent times than Eddie Sargent. The mayor of Owen Sound and new Liberal member for Grey North has a bumptious enthusiasm that appeals to you. This stocky, grinning, curly- headed extrovert in his late forties tries so hard, and wants so badly, you have to like him, But as a leader of his party? Whoa boy! You have to go slow on that one. CAN'T SIT? You really can't see Eddie getting enough votes to be Lib- eral leader. He has blazed quite a trail as a mayor, But he's been in this House such a short time he probably doesn't even know if he is sitting down properly. You have to feel he simply doesn't know his way around the provincial scene yet. But you also feel he is quite a pro as politicians go. And that because of this he will prob- ably rack up a fair number of votes at a convention. And you hope he does. For Eddie unquestionably has his whole heart in his job, and combines. this with energy, drive and if not an overpower- ing imagination, at least a will- ingness to try something new. He is a bold spirit, and we need people like this around here--and in prominent places. A good vote for the Grey North member would assure that he had some prominence in the future, If by any chance the Liber- als eventually win power it will READERS' VIEWS FLAG OPINION Dear Sir: Since I missed your ballot last week re the flag issue I felt that I would at least like to air my views and give my reasons for them. Firstly -- I am a native of Canada, whose father and hus- band both served their country in the First and Second World Wars. We have always, tried. to be good citizens and do our share to. make this country one in which we can feel proud to live. I realize that there are' still many ways in which our laws may be improved but for the most part we live in a coun- try of law and order. . _ Looking back on my schoo! days, I can remember some very dedicated teachers who made us feel proud of being Canadians and of our flag which we took for granted as the Red Ensign. Although the Union Jack was always kept before us, we thought of the Ensign as our flag. Secondly -- It appears to me that the big issue here is not the flag at all but the fact that some people would like Canada to break away from the Com monwealth. This, to me, woul seem a shame at a time whe1 we as a senior nation could de so much to help many of the ney states which have just gained their independence. Our country, if it is to be a great country, must look to- ward its destiny. Could we not do moré good for our fellow man. in places where they need our help so desperately, by join- ing together in our efforts to help them instead of quarrelling over.a piece of cloth. A flag can only represent the country as a whole if it is loved by its citizens. If it is forced upon us, a very serious harm can be done to the unity of our country and to the type of citi- von it will rear. Thirdly -- If we are given a choice through a plebescite, let every citizen worth his salt get out and vote and then let us accept the winner in good faith. MRS, F. ROSE: Oshawa ' reported probably mrean that he will get a cabinet post, And there are some cabinet jobs in which you can see him doing a very good job. Tourism and information would be one, And economics and development possibly an- other. But leader? Please Eddie, don't strain our affection. Perhaps in half a dozen years from now. But at the moment really we don't think you're ready. Give it all you can, however. That is the only way you would do it anyway. And you never can tell. You even' might win. And you even could make a good leader. If you could ever pull off winning the convention then you certainly would have un- known strengths. ' And you might be able then to do practically anything. printers, The First Folio con- tains hundreds of errors, misplaced or ~ lines, wrong page numbers and s0 on. Mr.. Fisher says Shakespeare was a voracious reader. "I have said, pulling down an ancient copy of The History of Kings of Denmark, from which the playwright is believed to have taken the plot for Hamlet. SOURCE OF PLAYS Also in his collection is Raph- aell Holinshead's Chronicles of England, Scotlande and Ire- lande, published in 1527, Holins- head was the principal historian * of Shakespeare's day, and scholars believe his work was the source of 10 of the Eliza- bethan playwright's historical prs. including ichard II, Macbeth and King Lear. Mr. Fisher, originally from World War lly Edmonton, the tion after the "when some of the great libra- ries in England broke up." "When I started collecting 1 years ago, I could get all sorts of things. Now a collection like this can never be again." ; Why Shakespeare? "I've al- ways been interested in Shakes- peare." Some of his interest, he admitted, he inherited from his father, F. T. Fisher, who was the Hudson's Bay Company trader in Edmonton in the 1890s. "He fought in Indian wars, but was a man of literary tastes." Another brother, Charles Fisher, of Montreal has a well-known Voltaire collection and a collection of Kipling's works. Now Mr. Fisher is concentrat- ing on his maps--"'the city it self, and the buildings." Among other things, he's an expert om the topography of Shakes- 's London. peare' z "I really have everything op that topic." But these valuable collections are still an "avocation" for Mr, Fisher. He.owns an engineering firm, and sees his interest as "not much different from play- ing golf or any other hobby." PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Yes, clouds have silver linings, but that doesn't keep a lot of them from making ex- tremely dark shadows, If you can't help worrying about the future, don't worry about more of it than you ex- pect to see. But how could the meek inherit the earth, when there wouldn't be any lawyers here to draw up BY-CONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO June 9, 1944 A violent storm struck with the fury of a cyclone, uproot- ing trees and disrupting Hydro service, doing thousands of dollars worth of damage, chief- ly in the residential areas in the north sections of the city.
