eR Re EN Re The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Local Newspapers Lead In Presentation Of News David Brinkley is one of the ace news broadcasters of the television services of the NBC in the United States. A member of the well- known team of Huntley and Brink- ley, he gives, five days a week a polished exposition of the news of the day from Washington. Because of this,- it is interesting to note that in a recent address to daily newspaper executives in New York, Mr. Brinkley said that tele- vision cannot compete with news- paper in reporting day to day news events in depth and detail. It is encouraging to find an emi- nent television broadcaster recognizing the supremacy of the newspapers in the field of news re- porting. The newspaper of today, even in a city of the size of Oshawa, presents a balanced report of world, national, local and regional : news news that simply cannot be equalled by any other medium of communica- tion. Mr. Brinkley acknowledges that time on the air is too precious and too tightly scheduled for even the most experienced broadcasters to match the news content of the daily press. The hometown local newspaper stands in a class by itself in the day to day presentation of news of the community, the country and the world. It is planned and compiled to meet the needs of its own peo ple and the people of the district it serves, At the same time, it does provide its readers with an excel- lent news service on what is going on all around the world. It is, in real truth, a, marvel of information, laid every day on the doorstep of its readers, Through the achievements of sci- ence in communications, in typo- graphy and engraving, it is able to keep pace with world events, and not only report what is happen- ing, but provide its readers with the necessary background informa- tion which is essential to a full un- derstanding of fast-breaking news events, What's Canadas Policy? As the situation in Viet Nam, where there is danger of a mass confrontation between the United States and Communist China, daily becomes more critical, it is vital that there should be a declaration of the policy of the Canadian gov- ernment with regard to the ac- tions being taken by the American government. So far, there has been verbal support of the United States intervention in South Viet Nam. Support of United States bombings and other measures there, how- ever, have not met with the full support of the. Canadian govern- ment. This was inferred from the pro- posal made by Prime Minister Pearson that the United States She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Manager Cc. J.

The Press is should consider ceasing the air at- tacks on North Viet Nam in the hope of producing the right climate for negotiations, This suggestion, it is reported, was not welcomed by the president of the United States. As the days pass by and the sit- uation worsens, there is a growing concern as to the extent to which Canada might become involved in the event of an escalation of the fighting in Viet Nam. As an ally of the United States, closely bound to its neighbor in defensive alliances, anything which brings a large scale war nearer is of concern to this country. Prime Minister Pearson, in his latest statements, quite rightly points out that Canada has every right to be concerned when the actions of its neighbor might involve this country in taking part in the hostilities. Canadians are coming to realize the danger to the peace of this country in what is going on in South East Asia. They have no de- sire to become nor has this country the means to be in- volved, in a full the Far East, Because of involved, scale war in this, the time has come for the government to take the people into its confidence, and make a clear-cut statement as to the policy which it would take in the event of the United States and China becoming embroiled in other struggle like the Korea, war in ans, Sees Starr As Improvement Welland Tribune) It may be that very little can happen under Diefenbaker lead- ership to improve the stature of the Conservatives at Ottawa, but Michael Starr has the qualifica- tions to establish improvement of the house leadership of the party. Since his appointment to the role was made by the Leader of the Opposition, it may be ques- tioned if. any change will be noticed, but there'll be more reasonableness with Mr. Starr, It's difficult to imagine the for- mer minister of labor, and a good one at that, carrying on in the inflexible and at times fudgy attitude maintained by his pre- decesser Gordon Churchill.

MAC'S MUSINGS The present state of World affairs makes us Reflect on how short Are the memories of men And how easily they forget The pledges made in times Of stress and turn back To their old mistakes, Only 20 short years ago Amidst the turmoil of war Men of many nations Met in San Francisco To construct a charter Which they hoped would Ensure the future peace Of the entire world, There was then a strong Conviction that never again Would nations go to war, And that only peace would Have a lasting place In their philosophies. Yet today, 20years later, There is far more fear Throughout the world, For war than there are Hopes for lasting peace, Far more preparation for War 'than effort for peace, And tremendous forces of Destruction which could Destroy the whole world Are being built up It is this negative and Deadly approach to peace That is disturbing the Minds of all people, and The only alternative left Is to talk more of peace, Work harder for peace Through co-operation and Goodwill, in order to Make the aims of 1945 Possible of attainment BOYS' CLUB LEADER Harold McNeill Praises Young People Of Today By CHRIS DENNETT Few people can claim to be more closely in touch with the youth of Oshawa than city pro- bation officer and director of the Simcoe Hall Boys' Club, Harold MeNeill. In his dual job Mr. McNeill is ideally situated to see both the good and bad of modern youth. On the one hand he has the responsibility of providing a youth program for the hundreds of children who use the facil- ities of the two city youth clubs. And on the other hand Mr. Mc- Neill is closely in touch with those few youths who have ven- tured off the right path an landed in police trouble, \ For these unfortunate youths Mr. MeNeill has the tough re- sponsibility of guiding them back out of trouble, securing them jobs, answering their problems and generally trying to ensure that they don't drop back into bad ways or company. HIGHLY IMPRESSED Out of it all Mr. MeNeill emerges with an 'extremely high impression' of the city's youth, Speaking generally he said: "The youth of today is so much more aware of the world around them than the youth of my day. I enjoy talking to them. They can talk intelligently on national and even world affairs. "The youth of today has so much to look forward to. In my youth we had nowhere near the employment possibilities of to- day."' Of the faults of modern youth Mr. McNeill would go no fur- ther than to say "they have no more faults than their parents', COUNTRY BOY Mr. McNeill was born in 1908, the son of strict church going parents. He was raised on his father's small market garden at Napanee. "T lacked in nothing,"' he told an Oshawa Times reporter. "I was veny content with my life on the farm. I suppose I am really a country boy at heart, "'When my family moved to Toronto some years later I re- member thinking how deprived the city youth was. I still love the country, I have my summer cottage at Napanee very near where I was born, "Moving to Toronto was a big change for me. At Napanee I had attended at the little red schoo] house with only 15 other children. 'In Toronto I was suddenly a student with 1,000 other chil- dren." After a few years in Toronto Mr. McNeill and his parents moved to Erie, Pennsylvania, pds his father took up a new FIRST INTEREST Back in Toronto four or five years later Mr. McNeill became interested in youth work for the first time. He became a member of the Moss Park Recreational Centre. "It was here that I realized the value of youth work. I looked up to the leaders and the tre- mendous work they put into the club, I knew then that I would enjoy the work." His first actual experience with youth work was at the Do- minion Provincial Youth Train- ing Program at Galt. Then, un- fortunately, the war years came. SERVED IN WAR Mr. McNeill joined the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals and spent the war instructing in the theory of radio communications, "Radio was my hobby in those days. I constructed all kinds of sets, After the war, however, I lost contact with the subject. I am still interested, but the the- ory of radio is much too ad- vanced for me these days." After the war Mr, McNeill GOOD EVENING By Jack Gearin "222 Race Has Vim, Vigor, Name-Calling There is nothing like a UAW executive election to liven things up. in the old town For feverish activity, bitter controversy, name-calling and down-to-the-wire fights, few political campaigns can match this one If some of this enthusiasm could be transferred over to the municipal elections, the City's popular vote would certainly top the pathetic 34.38 percent mark tacked up last December This year's UAW campaign is following well-established lines.

This year's vote (for 10 ex- ecutive posts, four standing co mittees, editorship of The Osha- worker and Canadian UAW Council delegates) is expected to jraw a record popular vote, There are 16,742 dues-paying members in Local 222 this year, more than 2,000 above the 1963 figure. No Oshawa election, including the municipal, can surpass in importance one phase of. this UAW vote -- that is the 10-man race for the executive of Local 222, UAW-CLC, which will guide the destiny of the anion (big- gest UAW local in Canada) for the next two years To give an idea of the enorm- ity of the job awaiting the seven-man election committee year will as secretary-treasurer by amation) week that next month's election cost estimated -- this "well over'? $15,000 CONGRATULATIONS!

It was not too many years ago when the ballot boxes were locked in the police station over the weekend during tabulations, but James Lee said this would not be done this month ("Whatever rival political factions may say or do in a campaign," he explained "we on the election committee still have faith in the honesty of all parties concerned".)

During his two years in the THE TIMES PERSONALITY OF WEEK service of the Mission Mr. Me- Neill grew to love and respect the Indian people "They were very pleasing years,' he said. 'Things were very tough for the Indian in those days. They were not ac- cepted by the white people "The Indians we were in- volved with were a nomadic people. Some of them had never seen a bed in their life or even a car. We had the job of teach- ing them English, arranging Sunday schools and looking after their welfare." MOVE TO OSHAWA It was after Kenora that Mr. MeNeill and his. wife Margaret moved to Oshawa to take over the organization of the Simcoe Hal! Settlement House. He has been here ever since. "Even in those days the Settle- ment House was an extremely busy .place. There were dances, all manner of classes, sports, teams, plenty for everybody. "During the winter we used to flood the back yard and organ- ize pee-wee hockey teams," In 1957 a select band of Osh- awa businessmen got together to start a campaign to provide a second youth club for the city.

McNEILL In January, 1963 work on the Simcoe Hall Boys' Club began. Eleven months later it was open- ed for use, Since that time the Club has gone from strength to strength under the general guid- ance of Mr. McNeill. Last month, for instance, 2,000 attendances were recorded at the Club which stands on Eulalie avenue. The facilities offered. to city children are vast and en- larging all the time. Moving on. to his probation work in the city, Mr. MeNeill outlined four points which he said accounted in a great way to the city's remarkably low delinquency rate. Firstly, he said, a fine city educational system. Secondly, the many parks provided by City Council for recreation and a fine Boy Scout movement in the city. Thirdly, a fine YWCA and lastly a complete and com- prehensive youth program. Of the future Mr. MeNeill could see nothing but expansion and more expansion to meet the needs of modern youth, "We are looking ahead all the time," he said, "We have many plans and ideas and I hope that they will all come into effect."

HISTORY First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915--the Cunard liner Lusi- tania was torpedoed and sunk off the Irish coast, with the loss of 1,200 lives; the British destroyer Maori sank off Belgium after hitting a mine; General von Macken- sen's army breached Rus- sian lines along the Vistula River Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1940 -- British Ad- miral of the Fleet Sir Roger Keyes criticized the Norway expedition in Parliament, and Prime Minister Cham- berlain admitted it had turned out a failure; mili- tary leaves were cancelled in Holland and Yugoslavia increased its armies to 600,- 000 men, OTTAWA REPORT Doctor M.P. Going To WHO. Meeting By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Dr. Harry Harley, Liberal MP for Halton, has been selected to represent Canada at the 18th annual meeting of the World Health Organization. Con- trolling the birth of mosquitoes and of humans will be among the chief topics reviewed. As the ranking authority on drugs in the House of Commons, Dr. Harley is very happy to note on the agenda a survey of steps to control the quality and safety of drugs. Last year, as chairman of the House of Com- mons committee on pesticides and drugs, he steered an enquiry into this very problem. ' Other important items, he told me, include a review of the worldwide program for the eradication of malaria, which is spread by mosquitos; and a study of the problem caused by the world's population explosion, Here again, drug-expert Harley will be interested in the study of possible dangers emerging as side-effects from the use of certain birth-control pills. Au- thorities are now suggesting that a preferable weapon in the campaign against pregnancy appears to be the new plastic spirals and pretzel - shaped gadgets, costing only a few cents each and offering lifetime efficacy. COMMITTEE WILL RESUME When Dr, Harley returns to Ottawa late in May, he will re- sume his role as chairman of the committee on pestitices and drugs. This session it faces the lengthy task of reviewing the price of drugs to the patient, and making recommendations which might lower that cost. The prime factor, which his committee has been directed by Finance Minister Walter Gordon to explore, is the impact of the ll-per-cent federal sales tax. This is levied at the factory price, and its impact is in effect doubled by wholesale and retail mark-ups. Other factors to be considered by the committee, Dr. Harley told me, include the recom- mendation by the restrictive trade practices commission that Canada should abolish patents on drugs--an act of interna- tional piracy which lawyers es- pecially regard with horror, - "Many witnesses have al- ready announced their wish to present briefs before my com- mittee; it looks like a long and interesting program for us," Dr, Harley said. Will the com- mittee start work without you, while you are in Switzerland? I asked him. "It could,. and in that case Rodger Mitchell (Lib- eral MP for Sudbury, who has served as deputy chairman of the committee) would chair its proceedings; but it is unlikely to be ready to start hearings before I return." QUALITY OUTRATES PRICE The greatest danger facing the patient taking drugs today is not the normally light blow to his pocket book--the average Prescription costs $3.20. It is the' risk that his doctor, or more probably a hospital, may treat him with "cheap" drugs im- ported from, say, Italy, where they have been manufactured in some basement without the government supefvision and sci- entific skill obligatory in Can- ada. This danger has recently been headlined in England, where parliament has been told that samples of the life-saving drug tetracycline, bought from cut-rate Italian suppliers, were found to be as much as 73 per cent deficient in stated strength. A patient treated with such weak doses of the antibiotic will probably not be cured of the acute bacterial infection from which he is suffering; worse, such sub-effective doses would breed bacteria resistant to ail antibiotics, The deficiency in those Italian drugs was attrib- uted to 'unsatisfactory mode of formulation," suggesting that the low price of the drug was made possible by cheap labor and cheap equipment, not up to the required standards of com- petence, Novel Experiment Designed -- To Ease Plight PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- "If a person knows he is stuttering, well, I guess most people would say, 'Why doesn't he just slow down and stop doing it?'" Dr. Joseph G. Agnello, 32, director of Temple University's speech and hearing sciences la- boratory, who posed the ques- tion, knows it isn't that simple, although he wishes it were. Agnello is one of the esti- mated 2,000,000 Americans af- flicted with the handicap. Combining both personal 'ex- perience and his rigorous pro- fessional training, Agnelio has designed a novel experiment which he hopes will shed light on. the causes of stuttering and perhaps contribute to its treat- ment, In a way, the experiment dates back to a conversation in a neighbor's kitchen. Agnello was disturbed to find that his stuttering got worse when he sat near the kitchen table. His neighbor, a music teacher, touched the tabletop and no- ticed it was resonating, like the sounding-board of a musical. in- strument, to Agnello's voice. This odd observation, plus more technical considerations, Roberts In Dream World (Belleville Intelligencer) Hon. Kelso Roberts, the dis- tinguished ex-Bellevillian who is Ontario's Minister of Lands and Forests, must live in a dream world Speaking to the Sales and Ad Club here, he had some hard things to say about the nation's press, which is his privilege. One of his complaints was that "top executives of the press" are "so egotistically sure' that the policies they advocate are right "they will rarely support or even adequately report a can- didate or incumbent who runs counter to them," The charge of failure to re- port adequately is a valid point, perhaps justified. But failure "to support' can- didates whose policies are op- posed to the ones advocated by the paper? The day publishers support men who espouse policies which the publishers believe unwise the publishers will be ready either for heaven or an insane asylum. It certainly will not be safe to let them out unguarded in this wicked everyday world.

DROWNS OUT VOICE , Drowning out the voice with meaningless "white noise," through earphones, had been found to allow many stutterers to speak, temporarily, more easily. "They've said it's a distrac- tion,' says Agnello, "But I think it's more than that. I think you've broken the loop." By "the loop" he means the theory that the etutterer's hear- ing of his own verbal stumble somehow sparks another stum- ble in a self-repeating cycle. Agnello -plans to return the stutterers' own voice, instead of white noise, through the ear- phones, but with a difference, Using a little electronic "gim- micking,"" he can change voice characteristics before they reach the ear, and observe their effect on speech, During the next year, aided by the university and a $3,600 grant from the National Insti- tute of Mental Health, Agnelle and his associates will run tes on a half-dozen stuttering sub- jects and analyse their speech- hearing patterns. Stuttering generally begins early in life, frequently with a child's first attempts at speech, but it does not appear to b@ hereditary, Agnello himself is married and has three children, 3, 4, and 5 years old.
