he Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher & MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1964---PAGE 6 ¢ Oshawa In Forefront Bright Economic Picture . A bright picture of the Cana- dian economy is painted today in 'the current monthly review of the 'Bank of Nova Scotia. The economy 'fs found at its most effective level of performance of the past seven Years. i Ontario,. of course, is in the tforefront, The business uptrend is 'described as more consistent and 'better sustained in this province than in other parts of the country. Slowdown in industrial employment has been less pronounced than in other areas. Oshawa figures prominently as a key centre in the situation out- lined in the bank review. "he auto- mobile industry is credited with providing a potent spur to activity in the province this year, and fur- ther impetus has come from the in- creased production of auto parts and accessories. Rising consum demand and the higher rate: 0) house-building have enlarged the' markets for other consumer dur- ables; and in producer durable lines, too, output is up substantial- ly. Steel production has held close to capacity. ' The greatest strength in capi- tal investment has been in the manufacturing sphere, together with a further surge in office build- ing. Steel producers have progres- sively enlarged their big capital programs, the automobile industry has moved into a major phase of expansion, a new pulp mill is being built at the Lakehead, and an im- pressive array of chemical projects is under way. In addition, as the first full-scale nuclear power plant nears completion, plans for a second larger plant have been announced. Pushbutton Parliament? A problem looms for politicians which may remove all unbiased ob- jectivity from their future discus- sions of automation. The rather alarming word that members of parliament might in time be re- placed by computers and the like was sounded by Professor Daniel Cappon, a psychiatrist at the Uni- versity of Toronto, at the National 'Conference on Goals at Fredericton. : The professor said the day is near when members of parliament may be replaced by computers as the mechanical servants of the people. A $100,000 computer, like the one the professor uses at his university, can complete six months ef calculations in 15 seconds. It eould process--in one week--a bil- lion bits of information showing the views of every man, woman and child on the flag issue, for example. That should end all controversary, shouldn't it? It's the professor's pinion that government isn't using computers as it should to find out what the people want and think. YW In Step With Canada's Centenary Year Just three years off, Canadians are taking a good look at their history 4s well as looking ahead. And they ére realizing that the institutions which have stood the test of time fost gracefully are the ones that ére making a sound contribution to Canadian life today. The Young Women's Christian Association, for example, has been around for more than a century... but it has been keeping itself up-to- date with constantly changing ser- -vices to meet the changing needs of girls and women, not just in Can- ada, but in 73 countries around the world. Today, with its counselling ser- vices for young women, its well- run, reasonably-priced 'residences, its groups which open new vistas to young suburban housewives, ts eoncern for the teen-age brides and the older woman re-entering the 'work force, the YWCA has come a long, long way from its origins as a prayer circle or a simple sewing élass.

Technologically, the system would support a form of government in which representatives would hold office only with the daily support of their constituents." The political consequences of such schemes are revolutionary, he conceded, "yet the technological potential is with us today." We share the grave qualms ex- pressed by The Charlottetown Guardian at the prospect of govern- ment by some pushbutton device that would send waves of electoral reactions daily into some huge con- trol room at Ottawa. This could well result,. as one commentator pre- dicts gloomily, in a system in which "the most powerful man in the land would be the electrician who re- paired the burnt-out fuses." With Times ing women in politics, the business world and community service re- ceived their earliest leadership training as volunteers on YWCA boards and committees. YWCAs across Canada are al- ways glad to have visitors, but. the week of September 20-26 is Nation- al YWCA Week, when you are es- pecially invited to drop in and see their activities in full swing. We suggest you call your YWCA today and plan to visit it this week. You'll see why the YWCA will still be young in heart and still serving Canadian girls and women When Canada marks her 200th birthday in 2067 ... and why you should support it in its work in this community.

TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept. 21, 1964... The loss of the Canadian destroyer Ottawa was an- nounced 22 years ago today --in 1942--after a German submarine attack on an At- lantic convoy. The toll was 113 dead or missing. Ottawa was one of six modern de- stroyers with which Canada entered the war. The vessel was one of the escorts when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth crossed from Van- couver to Victoria during the 1939 royal visit. 1776--The first naval bat- tle of the American revolu- tionary War was fought on Lake Champlain. 1949--Mao Tse-Tung pro- claimed the People's Repub- de of China. has been widely distributed after reprinting. This political philosophy is not unknown on the Canadian stage, he said, even though no major party practices it except in nostalgic speeches. There is a real residue of conservatism im this country, and the day may soon come when enough amticulate men and women will rise up against creeping social- ism and federal paternalism to build a bandwagon. Unfortunately, he said, true conservative thought in Canada at present is either inarticulate or passively dormant. This he deplores. If the left- ward trend of the past 30 years is ever to be slowed, halted or reversed, a mobilization of con- servative intellectual resources is urgently called for. By de- fault, the socialists have been allowed to become the only ar- ticulate men of ideas im Cana- dian politics. Conservatives now are. offer- ing, as an alternative to left- ism, merley diluted socialism; but they should be offering in- dependent thinking from the standpoint of the individual. LITTLE REAL EXPRESSION "There are many today who mourn the fact that there is so little real expression of con- servative philosophy on the na- tional scene in Canada," he said. 'The liberal credo mani- fested in the premises of Marx has almost totally embraced the trend of Canadian politics for the last 30 years. In fact during the past two decades party labels, in so far as the two traditional parties QUEEN'S PARK meaningless.

YOUR HEALTH ference between. Progressive Conservatism and Liberalism is baffling. Apart from the failure of the Diefenbaker administra- tion either to define or to im- plement conservatism, it substi- tuted in its place either ge- actionary liberalism or 'stand- patism', In other words the true conservatives have not opposed liberal ideas with conservative ideas, or liberal premises with conservative premises in any intelligible way on a_ national basis."" PRACTICAL POLICY. Thompson suggested that a small 'c'conservative policy for Canada might be outlined in 10 points : 1. Believes in individual re- sponsibility, initiative and enter- prise, and the right to individual irresponsible individualism as well as irresponsible collectiy- ism in the false premise "for the public good." 2. Recognizes that the state is the servant and not the master of the people. 3. Aecepts social responsibii- ity. The conservative believes that he is his brother's keeper. 4. Respects the rights of the working man to fair wages and good working conditions, and also the right to bargain for im- provement in both. 5. Maintains that freedom of economic opportunity and se- curity are equally ss important as the freedoms of speech, of the press, of worship and of as- sembly, irrespective of color, race or creed. 6. Leads in. international. co- operation but in respect of local and national sovereignty. 7. Regards freer trade as es- sential in the modenn world. 8. Demands that governmén- tal operations and expenditure be placed on a pay-as-you-go basis with the elimination of all discriminatory and inequitable taxes, The two other points con- cern constitutional rights and freedoms of religious beliefs. Three Conventions Found Memorable By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There have been a number of political leader- ship conventions in Ontario since the war, and the writer has been at all of them. Looking back, it is surprising how quite forgettable most of them have been. There are three that stand out, and two of these are Con- rervative. One of these is the PC con- test in 1949 which returned Les- lie Frost as victor over Leslie Blackwell, This was notable be- cause there was such a close and intent fight, and also be- cause tt really marked the start of the age of "hoopla" at On- tario political conventions, It saw badges and. banners, candidates' booths and other gimmicks patterned on the U.S. political style prominent here for the first time. Then, of course, there was the second: PC contest which saw Premier Robarts win out a few years ago. It' was marked by a four-way fight, the closest we have ever had, and also new extremes im hoopla. It was as much a carnival as a conven- tion. There have been four. Liberal conventions, and of these only one was outstanding. The first was in 1947, and this fs memorable for one reason only. The acting leader, Farquhar Oliver, was considered the main contender, and with little oppo- sition . . . until the final day. Colin Campbell, the former Hepburn cabinet i bad been running Mr. Oliver's' cam- paign, Then .on the morning of nominations, the main candi- date woke up and found he had opposition--his campaign man- ager. Mr. Campbell had de- cided to ryn against him. Next there was the 1950 con- vention, which was notable, principally because it elected Walter Thomson who the next year nan one of the loudest and campaigns in. Ontario his- Vv. Following Mr. Thomson's de- feat, Mr. Oliver was elected again . And this convention was so unimpressive we don't even remember who ran against him, Then, of course, there was 1958 and the best Grit conven- tion of them all. There were two candidates of exceptional sta- ture in: John Wintermeyer and Walter Harris, and a close and distinguished contest which will be memorable in the party's an- nals, In this convention. there has not bene a candidate with the Stature of either of these two men, : The convention will be. re- membered, however, for the start of the Liberals on the hoopla trail--it has been along the carnival line, And it may also stand out for having elected them a_ strong leader--really, only the years ahead can tell about such things He is too partisan. When Colors Can Change ~ As Part Of Aging By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: If a man had lovely brown eyes when a boy, and now they're ugly gray or hazel, what accounts for the fading?7--MRS. BW.. A quirk of the pigment or coloring. This man started, as do all babies, with blue eyes. Then, dependent both on hered- itary and racial characteristics, varying amounts of the pigment accumulated in the eyes. Sometimes as a person grows older, the shift of pigment re- verses. That is, color tends to leave the iris of the eye, leav- ing what you call "ugly gray" or "hazel." For whatever reason, men are more likely than women to have this change occur as they grow older. Pigments play an interesting role in the eyes, hair and skin, Graying of hair is a. gradual loss of pigment. Tanning of the skin by the sun is a heavier ac- cumulation of pigment which, of course, gradually leaves again with lack of exposure to ultra-violet light. Dear Dr. Molner: Will you explain diverticulitis? Four months. ago I suffered severe gas pains. My doctor put me on a soft diet; X-rays showed div- erticulitis. I imagine it is a mild case.--DW. Diverticulosis and diverticuli- tis are very common disorders, but with reasonable caution on the patient's part, they usually can be kept under-control. Dear Dr. Molner: I am just getting over a bad case' of pityriasis rosea, My doctor tells me it is not contagious. But where did I get it? About a week before, I ate some fish and ther I had this rash and horrible itching--MRS. MA.AJ. Pityriasis rosea is an inflam- mation of the skin, probably a mild but very itchy infection. gg fish had nothing to do with t. There is no sign that the ail- ment is contagious; for reasons not known, it occurs primarily in young adults in temperate climates, and mostly in spring or. fall. It is a self-limited disease. It Tuns its itehy course and ceases even without 'treatment. Medi- cation to relieve the itching is about all that can be done. Sun- light or ultraviolet seems .to hasten recovery. The ,disease usually lasts only three or four weeks, but occasionally may persist several times that long. Dear Dr. Molner: My X-rays were interpreted as intestinal spasm. How could that show in a picture? What is the probable cause? Is it related to a stroke? I was treated and cured --HL, In the stomach, the spasm will be disclosed by slowness in emptying the stomach. You doubtless were given a barium solution to swallow, so it would be opaque and this shows in the X-rays. In the bowel (if that is where the spasm occurs) the rate at which the opaque material pro- gresses, as well as the contour of the bowel, will give the clues by which spasm can be identi- fied, Cause? Usually it occurs in tense, nervous Individuals. Otherwise, inflammation of some sort (such as colitis) is the likely factor. It has no re- lationship to stroke. I'm glad' your treatment was effective. In some people, this problem becomes chronic. i ff H : uf 7 He i 1 i 5 Bi il : : i : i fH al Ht FE vf : 8 S a S 3 a 3 == if : i i . i 3 F i FAIRNESS: FAINT HOPE A Fair Campaign Practices -- Committee has been established in Washington to referee the presidential e! 4 First shouts of "foul play" have already been heard. 1962 Cuban missiles crisis until just before the mid-term elec- tions for maximum effect.
