| She Oshown Sores Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1964 --- PAGE 6 Proposals For Whitby Courthouse Approved A proposal that the old county building and courthouse in Whitby be leased to the town for a neminal sum, to be used as a community centre of many facets is meeting with strong support from many sources. Whitby is more fortunate in having at hand the ready-made essentials for a centennial celebra- tion project which would serve a great need in the county town. The chief thing in favor of this project is that the building for it is already there, and in spite of be- ing 110 years old, it is still in ex- cellent structural condition, so far as its exterior is concerned. One can envisage many uses to which it could be put, for community pur- poses, by appropriate remodelling and alterations to the interior. This old building would give Whitby a splendid civic cultural and recreational centre. It could provide a spacious auditorium for public gatherings and_ entertainments. Facilities in it could be provided for organizations such the senior citizens, the Red Crosg Society, and for a county museum. [t might even be possible to provid ample accom- modation in the/building for the proval/to the proposal to lease it to Whitby at a rental of one dollar a year. Oshawa, with its 18 per cent share, has also voted in favor of the project, provided always that it is offered by the Whitby Town Council. And we just cannot see any town council rejecting so gen- erous an offer which would' give it a centennial project that' would be generally acceptable. Remembrance Day The observance of Remembrance Day was forced back into the arena of public dicusssion when the House of Commons in committee, contrary to the views of the government, voted to add Remembrance Day -- November 11 -- to the list of statu- tory holidays to be enjoyed by work- ers in industries under federal juris- diction. If this bill is adopted as amended by the addition of Remem- brance Day to the list of statutory holidays, it will revive the differ- ences of opinion which have existed since 1930. In that year, at the instigation and insistence of the Canadian Legion, Remembrance Day was declared to be a public holiday, by Dominion statute. For some years it was religiously observed as such, but with the passage of time, the practice of making it a general holi- day fell into disuse. Observance of the day became restricted to the holding of services of remembrances at local war memorials, usually sponsored by Legion branches. If this legislation is adopted on third reading, it will make very little difference to the practices now prevailing. November 11 is already observed as a government holiday for the civil service and for the House of Commons, But for industry generally, it is not a holiday. Under this legislation, this will not be changed by law, because it will have no effect on industries which come under provincial jurisdictions. With- out arguing on whether this day should or should not be a public holi- day, this new provision will only serve to make confusion worse con- founded. Royal Winnipeg Ballet Oshawa is being signally honored on Tuesday next by the appearance at the R.S. McLaughlin CVI audi- torium of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. It is only on rare occasions that a city the size of Oshawa has an opportunityof seeing this out- standing Canadian ballet company, and the Canadian Concert Associa- tion branch in this city is to be commended on its enterprise in arranging for this visit. The Royal Winnipeg Ballet has won acclaim as a young, refreshing and distinctively different ballet company. At the same time it has the distinction of being the oldest continually operating group in North America. It was the first company in the Commonwealth to ' be granted the title "Royal", ob- taining Queen Elizabeth's first official commission of her reign. The company was thus the second Royal Ballet in the world, and has had the honor of three, times ap- pearing before the Royal Family. Among its other remarkable "firsts" are its presentation of the first all- Canadian Ballet, the first to appear on Canadian television and the first Canadian company to visit the United States.

Other Editors' Views INHERIT TASK Cape Breton Post Chile, reportedly, is asking the Queen to arbitrate in a dispute with Argentina over the southern fron- tier between ,the two countries. It's said that. the Chilean request was delivered to the British ambas- sador, Sir David Scott Fox, in Santiago. There seems an air of novelty about it. The history of the dis- pute goes back to July 1896, when the Argentine and Chilean govern- ments asked Queen Victoria to arbi- trate, and a British tribunal sub- mitted a report in 1902. At this snail's pace we many wonder whether some sovereign granchild of Elizabeth the Second will be asked to continue the arbi- tration sometime in the 21st cen- tury. At any rate, nobody's going to war about it. Bible Thought "And Ruth said, intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from fol- lowing after thee for whither thou goest I will go; and where thou lodgest I will lodge: thy people shall be my people and thy God, my God." Ruth 1:16, Some one is following you. Where are you going? Great is our respon- sibility toward our fellow man, greatet is our responsibility toward our Father. READERS' VIEWS _ MEMORY LANE Claims Unions Provide Free Politicai Choice The Editor The Oshawa Times Sir, Because of the newspaper strike in Toronto I have been ethically forced to rely solely upon the Oshawa Times for the news, and your editorial page for views on contemporary is- sues. While the general levels of editorial articles have been good, during National News- paper Week, paradoxically they rose fo a new low, with the focus on Mr. McIntyre Hood's Medi- tations of Thursday, Oct. 15th. "Mac's Meditations" have given rise to "Dave's Di- lemma." To read or not to read, that is the question! (Move over, William.) Before your correspondent at- tempts to foist his views on the readers I would suggest that he acquaint himself with well known facts. Mr. Keith Ross, in a letter to the editor, explained fn minute detail the system used by Labour Unions to obtain funds for political action, paral- lelling the "simple method" used in Britain. As one who has had a choice of participating in this fund, may I assure you that I chose to do so, freely without coer- cion; with the only reward, at least a voice, through my union, in running the affairs of my native land, or indicating my opposition to laws which I con- sider detrimental to the people of this country. It is common knowledge that both conservative parties. are backed financially by large cor- porate interests, and I cannot but contrast this method of poll- tical participation with the Labour Union system. The Union's democratic sys- tem allows me to make a free choice. While making infinitely greater payments to Insurance companies, I have been denied the right to vote for, or oppose, any campaign contributions they have given out. Despite ex- haustive enquiries, I know of no MAC'S MUSINGS Oshawa is a friendly city, And we have again found That out in the few weeks Since we returned to it After sojourning for' years In other lands and climes Across the wide Atlantic. In Oshawa folks have time To know each other and to Pass a friendly greeting On the street as they meet, And we have noted the Happy smiles that light Up so many faces as people Stop to greet old friends. © How different and strange Is the atmosphere in cities That are large and crowded And where no one seems to Know anyone else, or has Time to stop and greet Fellow-beings on the street. In apartment houses huge Soaring into the sky the Folk in big cities live Like cave dwellers with each Cave sealed against all Others, and knowing naught Of all those who have in Their hearts an ache and Desire just an ache For simple friendship. Coming from cities where Life is just like that To Oshawa makes one Appreciate living in a City where folks have time To show their friendship, To open up their hearts And give a kindly welcome To all who come, and make Them realize at once that Oshawa is a triendly. city. company which gives every stockholder a choice, in whether or not to make a political dona- tion. Where is the freedom here? In the very near future the costs of PSI will take another tremendous leap and, directly or indirectly, we wage earners will have to pay for this. With the Canadian Medical Associa- tion blatantly opposed to the recommendations of the Hall Commission, one does not have to be too farsighted to see that a good portion of this money will be used on a political level to fight a national government administered health plan. Again, there is little choice but to ac- cept. Your correspondent's anit- union prattlings under the guise of 'Meditations' have very little depth, Jess scope and con- tradicts that old saying 'travel broadens the mind." I hope that in the future, Mr. Hood will place more emphasis on facts while 'meditating," and less on personal prejudices and idiosyncrasies, Yours truly, D. Butler 146 Patricia Ave. NDP Views Explained The Editor The Oshawa Times Sir, In a recent article appearing in your newspaper under the pen of Mr. Mcintyre Hood, I must, as Secretary of Oshawa District Labor Council, Political Action Committee, draw to your attention several erroneous points which I feel are in dire need of clarification in the mind. of this worthy "meditator." It is evident from his remarks "the party which succeeded the C.C.F, but is just the' same socialist party under a new label" that the author, whilst "Fleeting" around Gt. Britain did not keep up with the con- temporary political party plat- form in Canada. I would like to take this opportunity to point out that if the worthy author could wipe the London fog o ut of hic eyes he would see the avocations and callings of the New Democratic Party repre- sentatives' in our Legislative Halls, consist of lawyers, doc- tors, school teachers, business men. as well as trade unionists. I could wholeheartedly agree that everyone has the right to support the party of his or her choice, but, I take exception to the author's view that a "good trade unionist" could ever sup- port the Liberal or Conserva- ti. Party, as he is well aware of the fact, that the gains at the bargaining table are rapidly beiis iegislated away by the old line parties, It is not the intention of any union executive to force a poli- tical doctrine upon their mem- bership, but rather to enlighten them to the fact that Labour Unions have been forced into the political field by the legis- lation that has been enacted against them in favour of vested capital, thus depriving them of their just advancement into a better standard 01 living. Thanking: you as a "good trade unionist" with "the. right of free choice" who votes New Democratic, I remain, Yours wish, a democrati ° viction, Victor C. Ayling Secy., Political mittee, on District Labour Coun- Action Com- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 23, 1964... Seventy four miners died in Nova Scotia six years ago today--in 1958--when a "bump" deep underground wrecked the No. 2 coal mine at the Springhill col- liery. One hundred men sur- vived the disaster, including some who had been trapped for as long as nine days underground before being rescued. The dramatic res- cue attempts were watched by millions of Canadians when CBC cameras were installed at the pithead dur- ing the two main attempts atrescuing the trapped miners. : 1934 -- French scientist Jean Picard and his wife landed safely after rising more than 10 miles in a bal- loon over Ohio. 1934--C, W. A. Scott and Campbell Black, British fly- ers, flew from London to Melbourne, Australia, in less than three days. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1914--the British Admiralty announced that 70 warships were engaged in an Allied search of the Atlantic, Pa- cific and Indian Oceans for nine German cruisers; the German armies claimed the capture of several villages near Lille on the Western Front. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1939--Tass, the Rus- sian news agency, reported that the U.S. freighter, City of Flint, was taken to Mur- mansk by German raiders as contraband prize; two German submarines were sunk by British planes, and two British merchantmen were sunk with the loss of 14 lives; sharp patrol engage- ments were reported on the Western Front between Ger- man and French troops. QUEEN'S PARK MAC'S MEDITATIONS Letter Writers Welcome To Voice Their Opinions ' By M. McINTYRE HOOD On this page today there ap- pear two letters from readers, expressing disagreement with some of the views expressed in this column in an article con- cerning trades union affiliation with the New Democratic Party. We welcome these letters, be- cause we have, throughout the whole of our newspaper career, been committed to the principle that freedom of expression through the press should be en- couraged. Whether or not the writers of these letters agree or disagree with the views which I have expressed is secondary to their right to have them publish- ed_ as they have been. There are bound to be two sides to every question, and in some cases, such as this, more than two sides. It is well that they should be aired, so that the public may have the benefit of all opinions, and so be assisted in reaching its own conclusions. In anything I have written, how- ever, I have not indulged in per- sonal abuse of those who differ with my opinion, because I do not consider that abuse consti- tutes valid arguments. And we feel strongly that those who have opposing views, might well observe the same strictures on their writing. POINT AT ISSUE I do not intend to go into any argumentative discussion of the views expressed by these letter writers. As men who are active fn both trade unions and the New Democratic Party, it is BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Oct. 23, 1929 In the forthcoming municipal elections Oshawa ratepayers were to be given an opportun- ity to vote on the question as to whether city aldermen should in future be paid $5 each for at- tendance at each council meet- ing. T. H. Everson was appointed to the Union Cemetery Board of Governors. Miss Stella Gladwynn, a noted English actress, was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. George Walsh, of this city, who were formerly associated with her on the Eng- lish stage. Rev. W. P. Fletcher, minister of the Centre Street United Church, attended the conven- tion of the Christian Church of the United States and Canada at Tique, Ohio. Cc. M. Larmer was appointed assessor for East Whitby Town- ship for 1930. W. E. N. Sinclair, KC, leader of the Ontario Liberal party, ad- dressed a huge gathering of peo- ple at a rally in the Oshawa Armories. Work was started on the di- version of the Oshawa Creek to make possible the enlarge- ment of the harbor. A motion picture screen was donated to the Ontario Hospital at Whitby by Leon Osier, man- ager of the Regent Theatre. Dr. James Moore, of Brooklin, was elected president of the Laymen's Association of East York Anglican Deanery. C. A. Kinnear was elected vice-presi- dent, and W. G. Corben, secre- tary, both of Oshawa. The Board of Railway Com- missioners recommended to city council that a wig-wag flashlight signal be installed at the Rit- eon road crossing of the CPR. October building permits in Oshawa reached a total of $429,- Strange Doings Of Politicians By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--We're getting to a sorry state in politics . . . far, far away from those happy days when a politician's only needed tools were a cigar and @ bottle of whisky. There are the Liberals: They sent out an announce- ment of a "unique policy de- bate" on a Monday night in 25 centres across Toronto. "Each forum", the announce- ment said, "will discuss a Single topic such as medicare, Canada-U.S. Relations or ed- ucation, "Employing the' principles of group dynamics developed at Ann Arbor, Mich., the discus- sions will try to draw from each participant his views and sug- gestions on the policy areas." It's "group dynamics'* now. We would like to see some of the oldtimers try to even spell that. Of course they knew how to get elected. They didn't have to go to Ann Arbor, PICTURES YCT Then there's the government, im the person'of our old friend, prod novelty-hound Hon. Jimmy wuld. This time Jimmy, fresh back from exciting Washington by wearing @ white tuxedo with black lapels, decided to find out what kind of tourists come to Ontario. So, of course, he had a sur- vey made. You're not bright these days if you don't. have surveyors think for you. And with Hon, Jim, of course, it would be a "bright" survey. "It became obvious to re- searchers", he said, describing it "that the overall image of Ontario was a highly masculine one. This was determined by a fascinating technique in which each subject was asked to draw a human figure of the same sex as the respondent and to invent a story about this figure. "These drawings and the story were then interpreted by clinical psychologists, And, be- cause each person projected himself into the picture he had drawn, researchers were furn- ished with strong clues. of spe cific personality traits--a sort of research in reverse." It was recent tourists who took this test. No matter what the reverse researchers may think, it's ob- vious who comes to Ontario. Anybody who would go through that picture routine is nuts. Our tourists, are nuts, outs! only natural that placed position of being, even by infer- ence, able to dictate the policies of a political party. I summed up my whole statement in the concluding sentence of my ar- ticle of October 15, in which I "We doubt if it would be a good thing for either the NDP or the country as a whole were the NDP's policies dictated by the heads of trades unions,' ' NARROW APPEAL One of the letter writers takes issue with the idea that the NDP is solely a party of trades union members. We do not ques- tion that statement. There are many whom one might cail aca- demic socialists, men in many professions, who belong to the NDP. They are the men who would like to see the base of the party broadened so that it would not become too much a trades union party. But if the party is to become merely the political arm of the NDP, with its trade union affiliations predominating, the appeal to the party to those outside the trades union move- ment is more likely to decline than to increase. That to me seems logical, regardless of whether the NDP spokesman think otherwise or not. NO DICTATION Another point on which one letter-writer did not agree with our views was the subject of trades union members belong- ing to other political: parties. It is absurd to suggest that a man who is a Liberal or Conservative in politics cannot be a good union member. That would be the very negation of democratic YOUR HEALTH thinking. A workman can be a loyal and faithful member of the trades union choice, and no bandying words can deprive the individual of his right to be free politically. I do not expect that the letter writers will even yet agree with. anything I have written. 328> Tice Es done securing improved working con- ditions, greater remuneration for their labor, and security for ities in the future to do so again. TRIBUTE TO LEADERS The Labor unions have now become an integral and bene- ficial part of the society in which they live, I accept them as such. I pay tribute to the wise guidance and sound leader- ship which have been built in many of our trade unions, have given them a real sense of responsibility. So I.am def- initely not antilabor or antl union, But that does not meag that I have to agree with everye thing they do, especially when they try to control or dictate the political opinions of all their members, opinions which are the sacred right of every in- dividual to keep secret if he wishes to do so. No New Medicine To Cure Cataract By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have been told there is a new medicine that will dissolve cataracts, Is this true?--Mrs. P.G, No, and if it were true, I am sure there would be a great deal of news about it. Special medications can im- prove vision (by increasing the amount of light admitted by the ¢ye) in some cases temporar- ily. Variations of the drug pilo- carpine are used a8 a conserv- ative and temporary treatment to combat glaucoma (inc pressure within the eyeball) and cataracts, since glaucoma is one of several causes of cataracts. on and injury are oth- ers. But nothing will dissolve a cataract. Remember that a cat aract is a cloudiness in the lens of the eye. When the cloudiness becomes too dense, not enough light can pass through. The solution is to remove the lens, and compensate for its ab- sence with glasses of one type or another. Modern surgical techniques have made this op- eration both successful and safe. Dr. Molner: What is a "biopsy lesion" on the left cheek? My wife had this.--W.L, You mean a biopsy of a lesion, a lesion being any sort of injury, damage, or abnormal growth. Maybe a mole. A tiny bit of tissue was taken from it to be studied in a labor- atory. This examination deter- mines whether the lesion is cancerous or is not, and hence whether it ought to be removed. Dear Dr. Molner: What causes canker sores? My doc- tor says it's a virus. Is this a warning of cancer, since it starts from a virus, too?--R.K. A recurrentgwirus is the most frequent cause of canker sores, although allergies can. be in- volved, too. Let's get this "warning of ---- out of your mind, though. First, it is suspected that viruses may have something to do with cancer, but this has not been proved. Second, remember that colds, 'flu, smallpox, measles, chicke enpox and other diseases are caused by virus, but they aren't "warnings of cancer." PAPER MISSED?
