She Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86'King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JULY 6, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Man Still A Creature Of Feelings, Emotions The age of automation has start- ed and will continue to expand in many fields of industry, commerce and government. But no amount of automation will change the fact that man is a creature of feelings and emotions. The Sudbury Star notes that one of the products of the present age is the "digit man." He is little more than a number on a computer card. The Rt. Rev. C. G. Adams per- haps had that in mind when he ad- dressed the Marymount School of Nursing graduates in Sudbury. He said: "Human beings can never be thought of as a sort of grand card index system ... In this day and age, when we talk so much of de- mocracy and democratic principles, we are confronted by the frighten- ing fact that many of our public agencies have started to forget they are dealing with human beings created by a loving God, and not just case number so-and-so, or bed number so-and-so." "The human touch" becomes very important to a person confined to hospital, perhaps as a chronically ill patient," the Star comments. "The nurse can keep alight the lamp of hope or she can extinguish the flame. When patients become "digit men" to the hospital staffs they have already lost the greatest ally against recovery from serious ill- ness. If patients ever become merely fodder for computers, it is time to populate the world with automa- tons. "The message by Msgr. Adams to the graduating nurses is one that can be recorded by people outside -of the nursing profession. The world can be lost to humanity if the drift to impersonal human associations is not stopped." Australia Stays Alert President Johnson has gone on record declaring that the United States will not hesitate to risk war, if necessary, to preserve the peace, a reference to Washington's deter- mination to maintain the freedom of the people of South Vietnam. The Welland Evening Tribune notes that Australia is taking an equally ser- ious view of the situation in South- east Asia. Australia has launched a Volun- tary Emergency Reserve which will augment the Army by 3,600 re- cruits. The Australian Government has accepted the principle of a call- up, if necessary, of the reserves and the Citizen Military Forces to deal with hostilities on a limited scale. At present, when men enlist for the Citizen Military Forces, they Life-Jackets In all the boating accidents where fatalities occurred which were in- vestigated last year by the Ontario Safety League, not one victim was wearing a government - approved life - jacket in good condition. The League strongly advises everyone taking part in boating, canoeing or water-skiing to use government- approved life-jackets. It is not only important that they be government approved, but also tested under safe conditions to be sure they work for the person who is. going to use them. This is advisable because each person has a different centre of gravity and consequently floats or sinks in a correspondingly different fashion. Be sure the life-jacket you have chosen automatically turns you over on your back with your face out of the water under any circum- stance. If necessary, try out differ- ent styles of government-approved life-jackets until you find the one that will do this consistently. Then make this your personal jacket and be sure that it is with you at all times in a boat and always wear it when you are water-skiing. The Safety League points out She Oshawa Times T. L.

Australia doesn't regard the South-east Asian situation as an immediate threat but believes if the present trend continue, the coun- ry's security will become gravely prejudiced. Paul Hasluck, Australia's mini- ster for external affairs, recently spent three weeks visiting South- east Asian countries and upon his return declared that the struggle in South Vietnam has to be won in the interests of lasting peace. There would be no weakening in Austral- ia's determination to defend South Vietnam, he declared, Save Lives the danger of using life-jackets that are too large on children. Life- jackets are manufactured in three sizes: to be worn by children weighing up to 45 lbs.; from 45 lbs. to 90 Ibs, and adult sizes. When a child wears a'life-jacket that is too large, the floating is often at the wrong place on the child's body to effectively keep the face out of the water. Never buy a larger size thinking that the child will grow into it; this can be tragic economy. Always fasten life-jackets securely 80 they will not shift on the body when immersed. Children should have their "personal" life-jackets which have been tasted on them and proven effective. The League reminds everyone that life-jackets will not save lives on dry land or lying in the bottom of a boat. Children and non-swim- mers should always wear their "personal" government - approved life-jackets in a boat or on shore- lines where there is any danger of falling into deep water. Other Editors' Views SHASTRI'S HUMILITY (Montreal Star) A British reporter wrote recently of Lal Bahadur Shastri, today Prime Minister of India: "There's, nothing in the least aggressive about him, except his humility." Mr. Shastri himself has said: "My pre- ference is for the middle of. the road, whether in politics or econ- omics. By nature and instinct, I detest extremes." Because of that nature and in- stinct, Mr. Shastri seems the best qualified of India's politicians (and in spite of that humility he is a skilled politician) to carry on the late Prime Minister Nehru's polic.es of non-alignment abroad and modest socialism at home. 7 DO-YOU MIND IF I PLAY THROUGH REPORT FROM U.K. Boy Scouts Scorn Weekend Tramping By M. McINTYRE HOOD ? Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Scout move- ment has fallen upon changed days, according to a_ report which has just been issued by W. J. Mason, district scout com- missioner for the county of. Buckinghamshire. In his report he says Boy Scout groups are YOUR HEALTH One-Year Old Feeds Herself By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have two granddaughters, one a year old and the other 28 months. When the older girl was a year old the young mother decided it was time for her to feed her- self. She put the baby's food in front of her and let her eat as best she could, which ended up in a horrible mess, and I don't think the child got enough to eat. Am I wrong in believing chil- dren should be fed until they want to do it themselves, which usually is gradual, and given easier foods first? Is there a certain age when their bodies and minds co-ordinate? Am I too old-fashioned and worrying for nothing? These parents are now threat- ening to do the same to the smaller child. I am afraid the children will end up with im- paired health because the young people of today are too lazy to care for their poor innocent children.--Mrs. D.E. Slow down just a little min- ute, worrying grandma. Let's see if there's anything to worry about. There isn't any set rule as to when babies are ready to feed themselves. About 12 or 14 months is average--some start sooner, some later. Messy? Sure, they're messy. So mothers clean them up. Remember? You- don't mention that the child is either sickly or under- weight. That would indicate that this baby, like any other, will eat if she's hungry. Could it be that the "'not eating" is something that happens when somebody else is around? Such as--well--grandma? Could be. Kids are show-offs. My personal preference is for easing a baby into self-feeding, but I don't think there's much of a health aspect involved. Unless there is some gross ne- glect, I don't think we're justi- fied in accusing young people of being "too lazy." In fact, some- times all we do is show our age by complaining about the younger generation. As a matter of fact, there were times when I wasn't sure my own children had enough sense to come in out of the rain, but now that they are adults, I'm beginning to see traces of their early training paying off, albeit they have to adapt what they learned to con- ditions which now are quite dif- ferent from those that existed when they were children--and much more different from con- ditions when I was a boy. Relax and enjoy your grand- children. And' if they make a "horrible mess" as they learn to eat, you don't have to do the cleaning up! finding that they cannot per- suade their boys to go to week- end camps unless.car transpor- tation is available to take them from the door of their homes to the camp site and home again. A tenderfoot, who, in bygone days of scouting -- as it was when I was in. my teens -- would have been very happy to Dear Dr. Molner: What causes osteomyelitis? Could it be some childhood disease like scariet fever? What can be done for it, and is there a cure or not?--A.L.C. Osteomyelitis ts an infection that has invaded the one, and it can develop from a variety of infections in other parts of the body. Yes, scarlet fever is one. I have known it to follow severe tonsillitis and extraction of in- fected teeth. Tuberculosis can be a cause, The ailment is usually chronic, and in t.e form of a draining sore which is in com- munication with the infected bone. X-ray will show the, de- fect in the bone. ' A combination of treatments is generally required for a last- ing cure: Surgery, to clean up the diseased bone and to re- move infected soft tissues;. and antibiotics chosen to suit the particular infection present--be- cause various germs can be in- volved. NOTE TO MRS, JWW.: Yes, by all means go to your physi- cian to find out why you do not become pregnant. Better yet, have your husband go first. Either the husband or the wife may have some fault which can be corrected, and as it is much simpler to test the man, it is more economical to examine. him first. cycle, or even tramp, a few miles for a weekend of beans and sausages and the outdoor life. Now he needs to be pick- ed up at his front door and de- livered back there. WANT MINI-BUS The report was compiled by Scouts at Acton, on the out- skirts of London, There the Scout. leaders are faced with the necessity or buying or hir- ing a mini-bus to solve the in- creasing problem of getting boys to attend weekend camps at the district camp site in Hedgerley, Buckinghamshire. District Commissioner Mason, + aga of the report, explain- ed: "Those boys who do have bi- cycles today just use. them to travel the half-mile or so to school and that is enough. The expense of travelling to camp by public transport could make quite a hole in their pocket money. The fare to reach the camp site at Hedgerley from Action would amount to approx- imately $1.50. So if dad won't give them a lift to the camp site in the car they lost inter- est. I cannot actually quote an instance where a boy. has re- fused to go to camp because he cannot get a lift, but that is my impression of the present situa- tion." NUMBER DECLINING The Acton report also com- ments on the steadily decreas- ing number of Boy Scouts. It points out:. "Boys of today, of whatever age, have a different outlook on life. They also have a multitude of other interests. In far too many cases the boy wants to leave scouting because we have not provided sufficient incentive for him to stay. A lively, inter- esting program with many vari-° ation from a stereotyped routine will go a long way towards keeping a boy keen on scout- ing." Scout headquarters on Buck- ingham Palace Road in London have formed a committee to see how the movement can be brought up to date. When they have finished interviewing Scout troops, Cub packs and teenag- ers-in-the-streets, each one, of the 570,000 Scouts and Cubs in the country will be asked for his views on what changes should be made. By 1966 -- it will take two years to analyse all the information secured -- Scout headquarters hope to have built up a formula for the fu- ture program and operations of the Boy Scout movement in Brit- ain. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO July 6, 1939 The Elizabethan Singers, un- der the direction of Lyona Hunt Mangan, were guest artists at the Oshawa Civic and Regimen- tal Band concert at McLaughlin Bandshell for the opening of Old Home Week. Ralph §,: Jones and George Boychyn were called to the bar at the convocation exercises in Toronto. Betty Barta, who was crown- ed Miss Oshawa, was present- ed with a gold key to the city by Mayor Michael Starr at the opening of the Old Home Week ceremonies. A. J. Graves, honorary padre of the Canadian Legion, was presented with a gold watch and a life membership in the Legion, in appreciation of over 30 years' service as chaplain of the organization. The General Motors Veterans' Pipe Band and its leader, Pipe Major John Reid, each won a prize at the Scottish Games in Haniilton, The ORA started its program of summer activities with the soaring of Ritson Swimming 'ool. A fitting contribution to Old Home Week was made when members of the Hungarian and Ukrainian communities of the city presented programs of music of their native lands at the McLaughlin Bandshell. Two aircraft, piloted by Al Souter: and Bill Findley, left Oshawa for Labrador, reported- ly engaged in photographic sur- vey work. Oshawa Orange Lodges held their annual church parade to Knox Presbyterian Church. A helf-cent a gallon increase in the wholesale price of gaso- line in Ontario was announced. This increase brought retail prices here to 40% cents for premium grades and 38% cents for regular grades. Tenders were called for an extension of 200 houses in the housing development at Ajax. 5 Two Leaders In Cyprus Have Little In Common By PETER BUCKLEY NICOSIA (CP)--It would be difficult to find two people who Tess resemble each other than his heatitude, the president of the Republic of Cyprus, Arch- bishop Makarios, and His Ex- cellency, the vice-president, Dr. Fazil Kuchuk. And if right and justice were reduced solely to questions of personal impact and surround- ings, the United Nations could pull out of Cyprus tomorrow and leave the whole affair in the hands of the archbishop. Visiting newspaper men, out of duty or curiosity,, generally pay calls on both men soon after arrival in Cyprus. In both cases the prelimi- maries are the same, The press relations officer for the respec- tive side asks the caller to sub- mit a series of questions in writing, Generally there is a wait of several days. Then the ealler is given an appointment for his interview, and at the ap- pointed time is driven to see his quarry. There the resemblance ends. No amount of courtesy or solicitude on the part of offi- cialdom can make Kuchuk seem less over-burdened or Ma- karios. seem less commanding. From the purely theatrical poiential of their appearance, Makarios could be the central figure in a biblical extrava- ganza from Hollywood, leading the chosen people to glories impossible without him. Ku- chuk, on the other hand, could be the underdog in a factory- town film of social conscience from England. OVERNOR'S MANSION On such terms, the question of which of the two men's causes deserves sympathy goes begging. f The road to the presidential mansion passes some of the newer, plusher homes in Ni- cosia and turns in past acres of presidential grounds which climb gently to a low summit. There the former British gov- emor lived, and there the arch- bishop goes each day from his rooms in the downtown arch- bishop's palace. The governor's legacy is a sand - colored monument, low and almost Moorish. Wide gar- dens and parks surround it, and armed soldiers lounge care- lessly in the driveway, picking their teeth or talking. After a brief wait in the ante- room the visitor is escorted down a narrow corridor to a carved wooden door and ushered into the president' busi- ness-like office. Makarios steps around his desk to shake hands and a visi- tor's first thought is invariable: He is smaller and slighter than his numerous photographs indi- cate. He is dressed in a plain blue cassock with a small jew- elled pin at his collar. His head is uncovered and his hair is grey and receding. The beard, that striking trade- mark, makes an already elon- gateq face seem: longer. ANSWERS TYPED His eyes are calm and alert, but they do not usually share the polite half-smile on his lips. After an exchange of greet- ings, he steps back behind the large, mo-nonsense desk, sits down and hands over a type- READERS' VIEWS FRENCH SYMBOLS Dear Sir: As we have used predomin- antly British symbols for the first 100 years of Confedera- tion, perhaps it would only be fair to recognize those of France for the next century, in honor of our French citizens. I am more than willing, even hopeful that we use the French tri-color and adopt the '"'La Mar- seillaise'"' for our national an- them. To be followed up with another storming of the Bastille. As part of the celebration and in memory of Samuel Cham- plain, a promise to "never again let the country fall into the hands of the English to be be- trayed by the Jesuits."

FRANCES. McLEOD, Secretary. Oshawa. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 6, 1964... Parliament passed the Lord's Day Observance Act 58 years ago today--in 1906 --after a bitter debate. The act was intended to prohibit all forms of work, amuse- ments, entertainment, sport and almost all commerce from midnight Saturday to midnight Sunday. The act has been bypassed for much of its history by authori- ties ignoring sections of it or passing over-riding pro- vincial laws. 1919--The British dirigi- ble R-34 crossed the Atlantic in 50 hours, 'and unpredictable . . written sheet bearing the visi- tor's questions, with the govern- ment's answers. Then an informal question- and-answer period begins.

His English is but accented. When the visitor has been given permission for a photo- graph in the garden, the areh- bishop stands and 'puts on a stunningly ornate chain and cross, then his much - photo- graphed episcopal head cover- the headpiece and all but envelope him. He walks ahead through a large chamber, his black outer garment billowing majestically, and stands patiently on the lawn for photographs, sur- rounded by gardens. Then he precedes the visitor back into the palace and the interview is over. BARREN YARD The road to Kuchuk's resi- dence is, by contrast, through some of the most crowded, ill- kept streets in the Turkish sec- tor of divided Nicosia. A gate- way from a chaotic intersection leads to a barren, dusty yard surrounded by small offices which make up what is flip- pantly called the "Kuchukerie" --the area used by the vice- president and his supporters since the disnitmberment of the government during last De- cember's disorders. A man with the bearing of an elderly farmer opens the door of a large two-storey home at one side of the yard, and OTTAWA REPORT Liberals Have 128 MPs Now By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The Liberals today have 128 MPs in the House of Commons, and need just six more to give them the barest mathematical majority. There is not a single Liberal MP who does not privately wish, as Health Minister Judy LaMarsh recently admitted out loud in the House: "Give us 10 more members!" So, inevitably, there is a' lot of fast footwork going on be- hind the scenes. Starting within a week of the 1963 election we saw evidence of the struggle to realign the minority parties and achieve a working majority for the Liberals; that was when we heard of the affair of 'The Six" --six Social Credit MPs from Quebec whose names were af- fixed to a memorandum ad- dressed to the Governor-Gen- eral promising their support for a Liberal government. The Six subsequently with- drew that promise; but later they broke away from the So- cial Credit party under the leadership of Bob Thompson, and formed the purely Quebec "Social Credit Rally" under the leadership of Real Caouette. Then there was a courting of individual MPs of the Thomp- son group, with approaches be- ing made to Bob Thompson himself, to Guy Marcoux and to others--approaches so dis- creet that they could be denied. NEW DEMOCRATS WOOED Then there was the wooing of the socialists. This took place on two levels, provincially in Toronto, and federally through a clandestine meeting in the Ottawa apartment of Finance Minister Walter Gordon. In addition to Mr. Gordon, NDP leader Tommy Douglas and the deputy leader, Douglas Fisher, were present; even Prime Minister Pearson was expected to attend, but he was kept at home by influenza, and instead he merely telephonéd during the meeting. But even those negotiattons failed to effect a merger be- GALLUP POLL feads the visitor. through a dou- ble arched inner door : S285 reply. conversation is heavy with derogatory adjectives about the Makarios govern- ment and descriptions of the evil times which have befallen the Turkish-Cypriots, For a photograph, the vice- president steps through french doors to a terrace overlooking a small garden, then he leaves and the cabinet minister shows the visitor out. Many veterans of the Cyprus scene say a visitor's first im- pressions of the two men can be a valid reflection of political realities here--that Makarios's . self-assurance comes from a reasonable certainty that he is bound to get most of what he wants if the situation remains under control, that Kuchuk is something of a figurehead for more powerful men whose at- tempts to wrest a_ separate homeland for Turkish-Cypriots are failing. However history may deal with observations like that, a r-ovie cameraman would have little trouble choosing between the two men for the central figure in his Cyprus travelogue. The biblical figure of archbishop would win the film footage. tween the Liberals and the New Democrats, The more obvious way in which the Liberals might have expected to win a majority was through 12 months of effective and popular government, fol- lowed by another 'election. But private soundings and publie polls indicate that, far from gaining seats in an election this year, the Liberals would prob- ably lose a small number on balance, with some gains in French - Canadian districts but with heavier losses in Ontario. ONTARIO PICTURE I find that Liberals and Con- servatives independently come up with very similar estimates of what would happen in Onta- rio if an election were to be called now. Among the .Liberals written off as doomed are Mr. Gordo Trade Minister Sharp, 'Red' Kelly, Pauline Jewett, Walter Foy, Joe Greene and 13 others; doubtful are said to be Health Minister LaMarsh, John Mathe- son, Dr. Harry Harley and Jim Forgie. Safe as houses, on the other hand, are Bert Badanai, Lucien Lamoureux, Mike Pear- son himself, Rodger Mitchell (if he does not retire), Defence Minister Paul Hellyer, Foreign Minister Paul Martin and Mines Minister Bill Benidickson. In the West, Agriculture Min- ister Harry Hays would be whipped in Calgary, but Hazen Argue would recapture Assini- boia for the Grits. Unlike the 1962 and 1963 elections, the Dief- enbaker image is now slipping among the better informed vote ers in the West, especially in urban districts, according to one western premier. The So- creds and New Democrats, not the Liberals, would benefit from this. Little change is foreseen in the Maritimes. So it appears that neither by merger nor by snap election can the Liberals succeed in get- ting those 10 more members they would so much like to add to their voting strength in the House of Commons. Safety Of The Queen Of Concern To Most By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION (World Copright Reserved) Having established that the majority of Canadians, 63 per cent, believe 'the Queen should visit Quebec in October as for her safety, the Gallup Poll then delved into why people were for or gainast the visit. Among those who feel the trip should be cancelled, five in 10 are concerned over the Queen's safety. -- "too dangerous .. . too risky at this time .. . should not take any chances." Next largest group, more than one in 10 against the visit, feel the cost of Royal tours is too high. Other reasons given were: "Danger of the separatist movement in Quebec .«. French Canadians are irrational . Asking for trouble by antagonizing ' people of Quebec . . . should bypass Quebec . . . if not want- ed in Quebec, should stay home . . . References to Presi- dent Kennedy's assassination." Among those who think the Queen should come to Quebec as planned, more than three in 10 feel any threats to her safety is bluff and that no one would harm her. Others say she will have adequate protection and be well guarded. Further reasons given why the Queen should visit Quebec . as planned: "She should not let a minor- ity group scare or influence her . . . She is Queen of Can- ada and it is her duty to come. . . . She was invited, wants to come and is already commit- ted . . . She should come to Canada but not visit Quebec or any threatening area... A Royal visit is beneficial to Can- ada."
