Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1964 -- PAGE 6 ONT Ny Pee Time For 'Moderates' To Air Their Opinions Heaven knows we hold no brief for Barry Goldwater; his election to fhe presidency, we believe, would be a political disaster of interna- ional proportions. But one of his more highly publicized statements + "extremism in the defence of linc rty is no sin" -- has generated jm great deal more heat than light, 'and deserves much more careful thought than it has been given. = Senator Goldwater has a habit 'of making statements which appear lat first glance to be daring and ¥orthright but which, on closer examination, are vague and woolly. Thus he did not define what he meant by extremism, and this per- mits him to give his statement all sorts of interpretations. It is this very exercise in interpretation, however, which could be valuable to all of us, to help clarify our own ideas about ourselves. and our society. The dictionary defines extrem- ism "of opinions, persons, etc." as "going to great lengths, opp. to moderate." Should not the indivi- gual in a democracy be prepared to go to great. lengths in the de- 'fence of liberty? Are there not times that call for something more than moderation? Where does mo- deration end and extremism begin? There are subjective questions, the answers calling for more defini- 'tions by each individual. But in- dividually, we should be able to skirt the semantic pitfalls and arrive at personal conclusions -- if we care, that is, about such things as liberty and the rights of the individual. Extremism has, of course, ac- quired added meaning in recent 'years on this continent, a mean- ing much more specific than the brief dictionary definition. It covers 'the activities of such groups as 'the John Birch Society and the Ku 'Klux Klan.. And since Goldwater 'has not rejected the suport of these groups, it must be assumed that 'theirs is the sort of extremism he tregards as no sin in the defence 'of liberty. If so, his statement is 'contradictory. Extremists of the John Birch and KKK type are the enemies of individual rights, which 'are the foundation of the demo- cratic concept of liberty, because they would circumscribe those rights and impose on everyone their own concepts of justice and free- dom. Their extremism, then, is a violation not a defence of liberty, because their methods of defence could not only result in the destruc- tion of liberty. é More than a hundred years ago Henry David Thoreau, who was considered an extremist in his day, wrote a tract "On Civil Disobe- dience." He had the courage of his convictions, and went to prison because he refused to pay poll tax to the State of Massachusetts." It was Thoreau's view that "we should be men first, and subjects_after- ward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right." This is an extreme view, even today; it suggests disobedience of law that conflicts with the citizen's belief in what is right, and since "the right" must be decided by in- dividual conscience, the conflict could easily lead to anarchy. But surely the individual conscience should make itself heard, even at the risk of sounding extremist. We may be moderates only because we are unable to form opinions or be- cause we are afraid to, in which case we are not moderates at all but hollow men. Thoreau also said that "the prac- tical reason why ...a majority are permitted to rule is not because they are most likely to be in the right, nor because this seems fair- est to the minority, but because they are physically the strongest." Times have changed. Now it is the majority which is the more likely to be bullied and harassed by the minority. Laws have been imposed on the apathetic majority by a militant, vocal minority; time and again our governments are elected by a minority of the people. The wise politician knows that if he can please the shouters, the silent ones will go along -- and the silent ones are the majority. i It's about time, that the quiet "moderates" started thinking and talking -- and that in itself might be an extreme occurrence. More Jobs In Industry The significant feature in the steady, strong growth in employ- ment this year has been the expan- sion in the jobs in manufacturing, an expansion which in turn has sparked an increase in jobs in the service and trade industries. An article in The Labor Gazette, issued by the federal departments of labor, sums up the facts. "One of the more striking fea- tures of the current business up- turn is the. breadth of the expan- sion," states the Gazette. "'The ex- pansion, which got underway some 38 months ago, has already lasted longer than any of the busi- ness upturns since the Korean War. Equally important, there has been a noticeable pickup in the tempo in recent months ... Em- ployment in the first quarter of 1964 averaged 285,000 higher than in the corresponding period last year.

Almost all of the in- crease was in non-farm industries. "The largest advance, in both relative and actual terms, was in manufacturing. Total manufactur- ing employment was up over the year by an estimated 100,000, a gain well above the advance. for any previous year since World War II. The service and trade in- dustries together accounted for an increase of some 150,000, approx- imately one-half of the entire ad- vance. In the remaining industries, employment levels were much the same as in the early part of 1963." Since other industries did not contribute to the employment in- crease, it may be assumed that most of the job gains in the ser- vices and in trade were induced by the growth of direct employment in manufacturing. Also, since manufacturing employment nor- mally reaches a peak 'in August and September, between the first quarter and early fall of this year it may rise by nearly another 100,000, to a seasonal peak of nearly 1.5 million, and thereby further expand total employment, Bible Thought "Mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attend unto the prayer that is made in this place." 2 Chro- nicles 7:15.

BAH, BAH, BLACKSHEEP REPORT FROM U.K. Tories Rejecting Earl of Sandwich By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Corrspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON The Earl of Sandwich, formerly: member of parliament for South Dorset for 21 years as Viscount Hinching- brooke before he became a peer on the death of his father, is a sadly disillusioned Conser- vative. Ever since his father died, he has intended to dis- claim the peerage so as to qual- ify as a candidate for the House of Commons. But the chief re- quirement was that he should YOUR HEALTH find a constituency willing to adopt him as its candidate so that he could stand for his party in the forthcoming general elec- tion. Three times the Earl of Sand- wich has had his name put for- ward as a prospective candidate for comparatively safe Conser- vative seats. All three of them have rejected him, In February of this year, he sought the nom- ination first in Harold Macmil- lan's seat in Bromley, Kent, and then at Winchester. He failed to secure adoption. Now he has been rejected by the local Con- Colds Not Limited To Nose Or Throat By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. Molner: Can any- one catch a cold in the eye?-- Mrs. M.P. While we usually think of a cold as: being in the nose, the disease invades the body gen- erally. It's like chickenpox. The spots are just the outward sign that the body has been unable to throw off the virus infection. Now colds are really many diseases, We aren't yet sure how many, but we know that dozens of different viruses can cause colds, and it may turn out that several hundred are in- volved. Some colds are mild influenza of different strains. There dre viruses which pri- marily cause stuffiness in the nose, others which in addition inflame the throat. With any of them, it is not unusual to have a headache, or a feeling of fullness. You may (or may not) run a tempera- ture, or have some achiness, or lose your appetite, or feel tired or grouchy or listless. So, you see, a cold isn't lim- ited to the nose. Some conjunctival viruses have the distinct tendency to in- flame the eyes, It is not un- usual for almost any severe cold to do this to some extent. Very probably the nose and other respiratory passages are the principal entry area for the virus in the first place, but we know that some viruses can be transmitted by way of the moist surfaces of the eye. It is " possible, I dare say, that any of them might, since small TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS duly 31, 1964. . .... ... . Dr, Hawley Harvey Crip- pen was arrested at Ri- mouski, Que., after he stepped from a transatlan- tic liner 54 years ago today --in 1910. Crippen was wanted by British police for the murder of his wife. He <left Britain with his para- mour, Ethel Le Neve, and radio, a recent invention, was used to alert Canadian police of the criminal's ar- rival, the first time radio had been-so used.

Don't think of a cold as a single, specific disease. It is a whole group of similar diseases. Actually, the word cold should be confined to the nose or throat. When the eye is in- volved it is a conjunctivitis. Dear Dr. Molner: A month ago the doctor said I had a cyst on my right ovary. He did not mention an operation, but I think that's what he has in mind, Can the cyst be treated with medicine? I am too young to have a hysterectomy, only 25. Please help me if you can-- Mrs, E.S.G. You're getting panicky when you shouldn't. First of all, if the cyst isn't causing trouble, it may be left alone. (There is no medicine which will correct it, however.) Second, you jumped to a conclusion, when it would have cleared your mind at once if you had asked your doctor right then. If you don't know, ask! It's far better than worrying by yourself. Third, even if the cyst does have to be removed, you still have another ovary, The cyst can be removed without per- forming a_ hysterectomy. So you are torturing yourself need- lessly about "a hysterectomy at 25." Feel better now? Dear Dr. Molner:Is it possi- ble for a gall bladder to grow back after being removed?-- MLR, No. servative Association for the Test division of Southampton. He was on the short list of 14 nominees given final considera- tion, but he was not the man selected. VERY HUMILIATING To say the least, it must be a humiliating experience for Lord Sandwich to have constituency doors slammed in his face in view of his long and honorable record in the House of Com- mons. He is, however, suffering because of the fact that although a supporter of the Conserva- tive government, he was forth- tight in his views and did not hesitate to disagree with the government when he felt its poli- cies were wrong. His major sin was that in the by-election in South Dorset, after he gave up the seat on becoming a peer, he supported an independent candidate who ran in opposition to the govern- ment's plans to enter the Euro- pean Common Market. He was a fierce opponent of that pro- posal, and in the by-election he campaigned actively against the official .government candidate and in favor of the Anti-Common Market independent. As a re- sult, the latter candidate receiv- ed 500 votes, and what was con- sidered to be an absolutely safe Conservative seat was won by the Labor candidate. That is the transgression for which the noble earl has never been for- given by his party. That is the reason behind his rejection as a Tory candidate by three con- stituencies. STILL SEEKS SEAT It is unfortunate, for the sake of British parliamentary life, that a place cannot be found for Lord Sandwich among the Conservative candidates. He still intends to renounce his Peerage so as to be able to stand for the Commons -- but his difficulty now is to find a constituency willing to accept him. Lord Sandwich made a name for himself in parliament as a man of strong independent views, one who wag never afraid to speak up for what he thought to be best for his country. He was one of the Conservative rebels who opposed the ill-fated Suez adventure. As has been stated, he opposed Britain's ap- plication to enter the Common Market. And he spoke out con- vincingly against the lengths to which Britain seemed prepared to go in subordinating her for- eign policies to the wishes of the United States. And when he spoke in the House, the mem- bers could be assured of listen- ing to a man well versed in the political affairs of his country and the Commonwealth. It is indeed fortunate that so dedicated a parliamentarian, with long years of experience, should be submitted to the fiu- miliation of going around beg- ging for a seat, and in vain. BY-GONE DAYS (40 YEARS AGO) July 31, 1924 Tenuers were called for con- struction of a breakwater and other improvements for Oshawa Harbor. The breakwater, to "rubble mound stones," was to run 350 feet, parallel to the old west wharf, extending out from 50 feet north of the present shore line. A ban on high floats for the Old Home Week street parade was lifted after negotiation with the Parks Commission. Permission was gained to re- move the cross-arch from the automobile entrance to Alex- andra Park. It was predicted that floats would be "larger than ever." Lois Stacey of Oshawa was awarded a silver medal for obtaining the highest marks in Canada in primary theory (music), Four people died when a car containing seven persons stall- ed on the westbound CNR track at Adams Crossing, three miles east of Newcastle. The train, travelling at an estimated 20 miles per hour, completely de- molished the car. The three injured were treated at Port Hope hospital. The Rt. Hon. Stanley Bald- win, described as "former pre- mier," invited the Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill, "and other waverers," to join the Conser- vative Party. Charles Matthews Jr., former deputy provincial treasurer for Ontario, was 'picked up in San Jose, California, for illegal entry into the U.S. At the time of his arrest he was operating a lunchroom in Santa Clara. Fall Of Apple Remains Puzzler For Scientists By LAWRENCE MALKIN LONDON (AP)--It's just 300 ted since that apple fell on aac Newton's head, and mod- ern science still isn't sure why. Even Albert Einstein's theory of relativity doesn't fuly ex- plain why the apple fell down instead of up. ti Gravity is an unsoved mys- tery. A Cambridge University as--- tronomer, Prof. Fred Hoyle, 48, who also works at Mount. Wil- gon and Palomar observatories in California, has a new theory. Recently Hoyle and an Indian mathematician colleague, Dr. Jayant Narlikar, 25 chalked a series of equations on the black- board at Britain's Royal -So- ciety. Some scientists were openly skeptical, and others noted that the equations conveniently sup- port another of Hoyle's pet theories--the continuous crea- tion of matter in the universe. But to get back to Newion: If you hold an apple in your hand, you note its weight, its sense of mass and its drop to- ward the ground when you let it go. Newton reasoned that mass is a fundamental attribute of OTTAWA REPORT all matter -- from applies to planets, = Newton formulated the law of physics which any two es a attra to each other, it's gravity -- can be measured by magnetic field. The would still exert its force (grav- ity) even ifthe iron filings , (matter) that demonstrate the magneic field were swept away. Experiments bore out this theory, but physicists find it still isn't perfect. To Hoyle, the idea of gravity with nothing for it to act on offends common sense His equations modify Einstein. Many of the results are the same, but the route is differ- ent. Hoyle has in effect gone back Correspondents' Methods Anger Social Credit MP Patrick Nicholson's guest columnist today is Dr. Guy Marcoux, Social Credit MP for Quebec - Montmorency. By GUY MARCOUX OTTAWA -- The House of Commons has long been wit- nessing a considerable waste of time. Many Opposition MPs have seen fit to criticize the government for its lack of pro- cedural organization and know- how. But the prime minister sees the Opposition as the source of all evils, even charg- ing it with systematic obstruc- tion. The parliamentary correspon- dents appear, generally speak- ing, to. be scandalized at the fact that, according to them, the MPs are too well paid ($12,000 a year plus $6,000 for expenses) and are losing 'too much time in the Chamber. They even suggest that it is more costly when Parliament sits for longer periods. This is absolutely false. MPs are paid monthly whether Parliament is in session or not; so are the secretaries. That. means that whether or not Parliament ad- journs for Christmas, Easter or the summer has no bearing whatsoever on the taxpayer's already burdensome budget. The correspondents too are very well paid! Also, most of them live permanently in Ot- tawa, so don't have to maintain two residences as MPs do. What is more, they don't have to be re-elected to keep their job; once they have succeeded in getting a position, they merely have to report Parlia- ment's daily proceedings to preserve it, What is their work in gen- eral? How do they fulfil their duty? In what way do they dis- charge their responsibility? Here is how things go in ap- proximately 99 cases out of 100. At the opening of each day's sitting in the House comes the oral question period; no need to say that one and all are at- tending. Most of them are look- ing forward to see an MP ask questions on problems which have been dealt with in news- papers of that day or the day before. This means that, in many cases, the correspondents themselves create the topics they want to be talked about in the House. Usually only the names of those MPs who have been intelligent enough to deal with those important matters will be mentioned in the papers the next day! Other reporters, for obscure reasons that seem almost in- comprehensible, give the front page to those MPs who always repeat the same type of ques- tions, even if they are inept or absurd. In other words, one could say that in genera] the reporters themselves determine the be- haviour of many MPs during READERS' VIEWS THANKS Dear Sir: The executive of the Oshawa Folk Festival would like to ex- press public thanks to all those who participated in the Domin- ion Day celebration. This would include service clubs, social clubs, organizations, merchants and. manufacturers, The Osli- awa Times and CKLB, the per- formers, the workers and all those who lined the streets for the parade and came into Alex- andra Park. Such an ambitious takes hours of planning and costs money. The committee and chairmen believe that their time was well spent and dona- tions have helped us meet all expenses. This is an indication of what can be done to make Oshawa known for its athletes and eth- nic culture and from experience gained this year, even finer festivals may be envisioned for the future. (Mrs.) Jo Aldwinckle, Executive Chairman project « the question period, since they report (or not) what they like (or not). When the question period is over all the journalists (with very few exceptions) quit their reserved gallery and ride full gallop to their offices where they accouche the news that they consider worthy of publi- cation. When do they come back to the Chamber? For many of them, it will be on the next day; for others, they might poke their nose in for a few minutes of "smelling" and as- certaining whether the MPs are assiduous or not! But you will ask me how they can report a speech delivered by an MP when they are not in the chamber. The trick is very easy; most of the report- ers read the uncorrected tran- script by the official Hansard reporters, They must quickly and they almost have to look across the text diagon- ally. If they are impressed with a passage, they might re- port it out of context; if noth- ing catches their eye, nothing is sent for publication. Yet many MPs (much more for personal publicity than otherwise) would exert them- selves to say things that "will make the news", which means things that will please the cor- respondents. How often we no- tice newspapers giving the front page to an MP who, under the influence of passion or oa alcohol, performs ridiculous but unconventional discourses! The moderate MP, pondering his words and saying only normal and responsible things, very seldom gets into the reporters' good graces. Definitely MPs-- the parties as well--only have resort to the choice betw pleasing the reporters and ab- dicating the principles they would like to fight for, or stoutly fastening onto respect- able and reasonable behavior but resign themselves to very rarely make the headlines, Let us never forget the words of the MP who said: "It does not matter whether it does good or harm, but by all means write something about me!" Members of Parliament, as human beings, often succumb to flattery.

This should be measurable by its effect on the orbits of other planets, but it wasn't. So Ein- stein abandoned the idea. Hoyle maintains his equa- tions show that while the earth's distance from the sun. varies, the mass of the earth does not. Why? Because the earth is always interacting with other parts of the universe, cancelling out the sun's effect. Hoyle admits that right now he can't-prove his theories. Einstein won support through observations during solar eclipses. It may be that Hoyle's test will come from nuclear physics -- in the miniature solar systems and universes that are the interior of the atom. Special Skill Classes Held For Teachers By JEAN SHARP TORONTO (CP)--Every class- room has its problems -- the gifted; the slow ,the handi- capped children. They don't fit easily into a public school system geared to the broad middle group of stu- dents, Many, through force of cir- cumstances, have been lost by the wayside or have not had the encouragement or opportunity to develop their full potential. Sometimes their problems, have gone unrecognized or have been inaccurately diagnosed. This summer 1,100 teachers in Ontario are. learning the skills needed to teach such chil- dren, whether in spevial classes or in regular classrooms. In Toronto, Port Arthur and Ot- tawa they are taking courses designed for an Ontario cer- tificate, although a few of the . teachers are from other prov- inces or other countries. In the last 10 years the num- , ber of special classes in On- tario has tripled. There now are more than 1,000. The count has almost doubled in three years. Ang it's only a_ beginning, says D. A. MacTavish, director of auxiliary educational serv- ices for the Ontario department of education. "The next 10 years are going to be fascinating. New research © is coming through. A lot re- mains to be applied, I think there is going to be a surge. I think the public is ready. I don't think school boards will have to talk a community into it, and that is a change from a very short time ago." Consider Salmon In Lake Superior BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- We still need rain. This may be somewhat start- ling news to people in those - parts of Ontario which not many days ago went through one of the greatest and longest torrents in years. cidentally, will be an interest- ing one. The Kokanee is a land-locked West Coast salmon of the sock- eye variety. To see if it will grow in our lakes 100,000,000 eggs are to be planted. If it grows who can tell what _ a Even this big downpour didn't will happe: bring the rainfall to date up to average. And most crops, it appears, are a bit below normal, The rain helped them, partic- ularly crops such as second- growth hay. But the crops still need wa- ter. SUPERIOR BUILD-UP The rehabilitation job .on Lake Superior is turning out to be a big success. That's the word from the fish and wildlife branch of lands and forests. The lake, which was moved into a decline by the onslaught of sea lamprey, has come back so fast that officials are now considering it for a big experi- ment in breeding Kokanee salmon in Ontario. This success with Superior may be good news regarding other lakes--particularly Erie-- which are still in decline. Their problems are different. But at least the natural prob- lems of the lakes can be solved. ONTARIO SOCKEYES? The Kokanee experiment, in- Perhaps even those lunch- counter salmon sandwiches will be made from "fresh" salmon. SAFETY INSPECTION Here's another example of the mess that tangled relation- ships between the province and municipalities can mean: There has been a cry of alarm about lack of safety measures for construction workers. And the cry has come = the construction compan- ies. Behind their complaint is that some border-line companies are not following the law on protec- ion. But behind this, and the fact the companies can get away with it, is the lack of sufficient inspection. It was argued when the safety law was put in that the prov- ince should be responsible for inspection. But the province put the onus on the local authorities, And for the most part the mu- nicipalities are not enforcing this provincial law strongly enough.
