Wilson, Publisher ¥ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1964--PAGE 6 Fredericton 'Thinkers' In Search Of Identity The federal Conservatives have had their much-publicized think- ers' conference, and a very-pleasant gathering it must have been, from all accounts. Those attending were given plenty to think about, with the ideas presented ranging the full 'political gamut. No one seems to believe, how- ever, that the thinking and talk- ing done at Fredericton will make much difference to the federal Con- servative party for a while, simply because there is not, properly speaking, a Conservative party at Ottawa at all. There is a Diefen- baker party, and as long as Mr. Diefenbaker remains as the head, the leader, the grand poobah, it will not be anything but a Diefen- baker party, made up those who are intensely loyal to him -- prob- ably a minority -- and the remain- der who are uncomfortable and un- happy. but have nowhere else to turn. Under Mr. Diefenbaker, the Con- servative party has had a fine dis- dain for theorists and intellectuals -- the sort of people who gathered at Fredericton, in fact. This has been obvious enough to inspire some disgrunted Tories of thought- ful inclination to dub it the "wahoo party". That may bea little unkind, but there is no doubt that the Diefenbaker approach to issues, a curious and antipathetic combina- tion of pragmatism and intuition, has dangerously eroded the founda- tion of principle which is necessary for the support of any political party. A party must, after all, represent some coherent body of thought beyond the simple principle of "will it get votes?", A party with nothing to sustain it but a hunger for power must sooner or later -- and gen- erally sooner -- die of a famine of principle. It is difficult to identify the Diefenbaker party with Conserva- tism. The Fredericton gathering was, aS much as anything, a search for identity. Malaysia Needs Help Canada has been asked for. more aid by Malaysia, and should "not hesitate to give it. This country is not in any position to send troops, because we are heavily committed to NATO and the UN, and our forces already show signs of being over-extended. But we can provide material help. And we can certainly halt the aid, small though it is, we are giving Indonesia. New Zealand soldiers have joined the British and Gurkha units flush- ing out the raiders and paratroopers gent into Malaysia by the ruthless and unprincipled Indonesian leader, Sukarno. Malaysia has carried its charge of aggression against Indonesia to the United Nations security council.,Sukarno with good reason, expects the Soviet Union to veto any effort by Malaysia to condemn his country or do anything to stop his aggression. The Indonesian leader has thre- atened to break up the new nation of Malaysia, which gives the west a buffer between his country and Communist China. He has been as energetic about it as he could be without declaring outright war. He pays no attention to 'interna- tional law or the fact that Malaysia was formed only after its various peoples had approved of joining the far flung, independent nation. United Nations missions verified their desire for joining to form the new: nation. As usual, one reason for Su- karno's troublemaking is to help him take his people's minds off troubles at home. In spite of pos- session of the rich islands that make up Indonesia, Sukarno has been unable to bring the economy back to the state it was in when the Dutch ruled there. As the British move in troops and naval vessels and planes as a precaution against more serious moves, Sukarno might well con- sider the risks he is taking. Britain and its allies have no intention of letting Malaysia fall. If he continues his troublemaking he may find that he has taken on more than he can handle, Common Market Deal A deal may be in the making to reconcile, for the present at least, some of the opposed views within the European Common - market. Paul-Henri Spaak, Belgium's foreign minister and former Secretary- General of NATO, has offered a "trade" to France's de Gaulle. He qwould give up the plan for a tight federation in favor of de Gaulle's idea of a family of fully sovereign nations; in return, de Gaulle would drop his veto of Britain's entry into the European Economic Commu- nity. The move may come to nothing. The French president is an inflex- fble person. And the British election could have a great deal to say about that country's continued de- sire for Common Market member- ship -- the Labor party has not been enthusiastic. But at least it js an effort to solve the more prickly EEC problems. The Common Market approach to a unified Europe involved. the setting up of European institu- --_------ She Oshawa. Times T. L.

Under these institutions narrow conflicts of in- terest become matters of, general concern -- and their solution is undertaken in the name of the whole family. Under the Gaullist version of Europe, conflicts would tend to keep their national aspects -- there would be less emphasis on a com- mon interest for solving them. A dispute between two nations will tend to remain just that. Some advantages--very real ones -- must be risked if a Europe of "natries," as de Gaulle calls it, is to emerge in place of the federal hope. Some of these advantages are already embodied in the Common Market, and presumably its insti- tutions would not be dismantled. But they would necessarily . be severely delimited for the foresee- able future to purely economic functions. Other Editors' Views FRIENDLY ACADIANS Fedeicton Gleaner The Acadians show a spirit al- together different from that of the people of Quebec. Acadians are more tolerant and more prone to peaceful association with their neighbors of other heritages, MAN OF PROMISE Charlottetown Patriot Canada is the poorer for losing young men of such promise from her pubic life. If Mr. Davie Fulton should return to the federal scene at a future date, he should be of benefit to his country as well as to his party in the days that are ahead, A oy Truly the Sweater Sensation of the year at K-Mart.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. MOlner: What causes pimples and blackheads? Will anything clear them up completely? Is external medica- tion used?--MISS A.B. Pimples and blackheads (de- pending on definitions, they may be the same thing) are what we lump together as "acne." There is no more common af- fliction among young people than this--unless maybe being hungry, in love, or having colds. I'd make a guess that in your case you don't have a vast number of pimples and blackheads. If you did, you'd probably be calling it "acne". It's just a question of degree. When there are a great many such eruptions on the skin, it's "acne." Relatively few, it's "pimples and blackheads." They are all the same, and are fought. by exactly the same methods. The skin is crowded with mil- lions of small glands. Call them pores if you wish, for the sweat glands, and use other terms (such as '"'sebaceous glands") for the tiny ones which provide oil. In the teens, the body is ma- turing, These glands go into a burst of activity. The oily secre- tions of the skin increase. If a tiny gland becomes plugged, it is a "pimple." If, however, the oily stuff reaches the surface-- and then becomes plugged--it turns black from the action of the air upon it. And that's a "'blackhead." If you squeeze a blackhead (I don't recommend that, unless you do it properly) some whitish material follows after the plug pops out. It's the same oily product of the little gland, but the whitish material hasn't been exposed to the air and hence hasn't changed color, "Acne" or "pimples" or "blackheads" are glands which have become more or less -clog- ged. If the plugged gland becomes mildly infected, and hence red and swollen, the complexion looks worse. In a lot of cases, the infection is so severe that a small scar results, and enough of these can cause permanent pitting of the skin later. For reasons as yet not fully understood, some of us have fewer pimples and blackheads' than others; also some of us are more likely to have small jnfec- tions develop. But acne, in some a whether mild or severe, plagues nearly all of us before 7 we grow up. Only rarely do we encounter the "perfect skin," that never has at least a few of these blemishes. ' Can we clear them up com- pletely? Well, no, I don't sup- pose so, any more than human beings can ever be perfect. But we can do a good deal, often easily, to correct the condition. Dear Dr. Molner: Is a glass coffee maker more healthful than an aluminum one?--R.S. No. Either is perfectly all right. 'Dear Dr. Molner: How would a doctor examine one in order to discover a breast tumor in the early stages? Sometimes I can feel a little sore spot on each close to the arms. Could muscles cause this? I have been lifting heavy things.--ANXIOUS., Breast. tumors can usually be detected by careful palpation-- sense of touch disclosing a lump. X-ray, however, is being used more and more for early detection. Most tumors are painless; hence I would strongly suspect that your pain is from muscle strain. 77 EAC BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS. AGO Sept. 16, 1939 For the third year in succes- sion, rain and cool weather marred the opening of the Osh- awa Fair. Show entries were more numerous in women's classes than other years with more farm animals -on display. Rumors sent Oshawa _ house- wives on a two-day buying spree for flour and sugar. Steps were being taken to organize a voluntary women's service register for Eastern On- tario Counties. Mrs. Gordon D. Conant was appointed chairman of the organizing committee. Vandals broke into St. George's Anglican Church and destroyed chairs, benches, win- dows, lights and damaged the organ. Immediate action to control prices of foodstuffs in Oshawa was taken by the City Council. Capt. (Dr.) W.. 8. Millman was chairman of the Army Medical Board which was ¢xam- ining recruits seeking to enlist in the Ontario (Tank) Regiment. An historic link with Oshawa's early days was all but destroyed when the old Sykes Lumber building located on Athol street west was gutted: by fire. The structure was so badly damaged that it later had to be demolished. Rev. F. J. Maxwell, former pastor of St. Andrew's United Church, unveiled a memorial window in the church. The memorial was in honor of the late James D. Storie. "Abbie" Burr and his crew- man Art Cory won the Conant trophy, emblematic of the Oshe awa Yacht Club championship. Mrs. F. W.-Cowan, convenor of the Oshawa Red Cross So- ciety's Women's Committee during the first World War, had consented to act in the same capacity during the current con- fliet. : ~ QUEEN'S PARK No Easy Passage For Constitution By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Reports from Charlottetown indicated there would be an easy ride in get- ting our Canadian constitution back on the rails. Since the federal - provincial conference a considerable dam- per has been thrown on this by western premiers. They see trouble ahead, notably from ebec. Nothing has been said pub- licly here, or at least not at the time of writing, but the western feeling gets full endorsement. Our people can see long and difficult negotiations before t reach a point of agreement. And, while at this point there fs no sign of substantial opposi- tion from anywhere excépt Que- bec, it could be a surprise if this doesn't develop, If the deliberations on the constitutional process do a proper job they should review our governmental responsibili- ties and powers down to the very base, They should involve the most deep - rooted study since Confederation itself. And, this will not cnly mean hard work, but differences of opinion. NEW BUILDINGS | The government is now ready to start on the new $50,000,000 office complex here which has been talked about for the past 2 few years. The plans have been drawn, and tenders for two office tow- ers and the connecting plaza re being called. They will rep- resent an outlay of $27,000,000. TODAY IN HISTORY By The Canadian Press ept. 16, 1964... Andrew Bonar Law, the only British prime minister born outside the United Kingdom, was born at Rex- ton, N.B., 106 years ago to- day--in 1858. Son of a Pres- byterian clergyman, he was educated in New Brunswick and at Glasgow before en- tering business in Glasgow. In 1900 he entered Parlia- ment as a Glasgow MP. He later held. other political posts and gained the Con- servative Party leadership in 1911. In 1915 he joined the war coalition as colonial secretary, and when the coalition fell. in 1922 he be- came Prime Minister. 1893---The city of Calgary, Alberta, was incorporated. 1916 -- Prohibition went into effect in Ontario. First World War Fifty years ago today, in 1914, Germans gave way slowly in fighting extending from Noyon to Verdun. Sixty - thousand Germans were sent into Belgium for an attack on Antwerp.. Rus- sians attacked Przemys! in Southern Poland. Second World War } Twenty-five years ago to- © day, in 1939, the French | reported that' hundreds of | thousands of troops were » engaged in battle along a 40-mile front from the Mo- | selle River southeast to yj Saarbrucken, and t hat the Germans were withdrawing "inch by inch." The Cana- dian government set up a Foreign Exchange Control Board. The original schedule is being speeded up. The first intention was to build only one tower at a time. But now two are being biilt. They will be finished in three years, and- the whole complex is to be ready in 1973. The reason for the speed-up, of course, is an urgent need to bring government offices back to Queen's Park, They are spread all over Tor- onto now, largely in rented space. Out of 10,500 civil sery- its in the city, only 2,500 are at the centre of government. The first stage of the com- plex will mean 4,000 of these can be brought back. But it could be doubtful if we will ever see all the workers who should be here actually housed here. By 1973, of course, the civil service will have swollen a and still more space probab! will b& needed. : TORONTO AGAIN The complex will be a dis- tinguished addition to this city --but once again there has to be the regret; one more thing for Toronto. With this comes the inciden- tal thought that even if we must have the centre of government here, must everything be lo- cated in the city. Headquarters for Hydro, for instance, could just as well be located in London, Orillia, or many other centres, Just now another big utility is building in the Water Resources Commis- sion. It too is located in Tor- onto. But it really needn't be. READERS' VIEWS SMOKING HABIT Dear Sir: A report states that now the "smoking scare" is over, more cigarets are being smoked than ever. before, It is a well known fact that those who have smoked for a long time just simply cannot quit the habit for good. When nicotine gets into the blood, it becomes hahit-forming. While but little can be done with habitual smokers, there is much that can be done for those who have not as yet taken up smoking. Through education in our schools stressing the dan- gers uf smoking, much good can be accomplished. Let us hope and pray that in the name of good health, educa- tion on the hazards will go ever forward. In the years to come, the reward of sound healthy lungs will be the fruits of edu- cation among our younger gen- erations. G, W. CHINNERY Brantford, Ontario BUSES Dear Sir: In Mr, Gearin's article on buses in his column, he states GALLUP POLL there was no increase in fares and no curtailment of service, Permit me to mention, the fares were eight for a dollar, in- creased to seven for $1 and at the time notices were printed in the Times of certain curtail- ment of buses east and west, also fewer buses at certain times. The catch is one has to buy $1 tickets at a time, Another strong point with those diese] buses is the exit. Whoever invented these should patent one more and then drop dead. Picture, if you can, a mother with a folded go-cart, two kiddies (one in arms) and a few parcels, trying to get. out of that exit. To. push the handle takes all the strength of older passen- gers and on alighting, one has to watch the door does not swing back on one. The P.U.C. must have got them at a clearance sale or some. firm had to get rid of them. Bus public are not interested in deficits or workings, but are interested in service, which they do not get. COMMON SENSE Oshawa Liberal Party Rated As Best For By The Canadan Institute of Public Opinion (World Copyright Reserved) The Liberal Party emerges with a generally universal edge of appeal as the political party which best serves the interests of various groups in Canada. A final study by the Poll shows that the people think the Liberal party best serves both small and big business. Almost four in 10 name the Liberal party as best for large com- panies and two in 10 name the Conservative party. Business Ten years ago public opinion put the two old line parties closer together as best for big business--26 per cent for the Conservative party; 28 per cent Liberal. Nearly three in 10 Canadians say the Liberal party serves small business best and almost two in 10 say the Conservative party. The question: "Whch political party in Ottawa do you think serves the interests of small business and large companies best?"
