Fhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont, Poge 4 Thursday, November 13, 1958 Oil Company President Attacks Energy Report Leaders of Canada's oil and gas in- dustries have not been enchanted by the first report of the Borden Commis- sion on Energy. This week, for exam- ple, J. R, White, president of Imperial Oil Ltd, stated that controls recom- mended by the Commission "directly threaten the well-being of the oil and gas industries and, by implication, Ca~ nadian business in general and the re- source industries in particular," He cit- ed the following as some of the practi~ cal defects of the report: It makes no allowance for the com= petition that exists between various sources, forms and uses of energy; it recommends gas export and then sets up a procedure that will involve pro- tracted delay in bringing it about; it makes it virtually impossible to secure public participation in financing pipe~ line constructior. in Canada; it raises doubts abot the sanctity of contracts as a basis for private financing. "The report confirms the necessity of export markets," he said, "and recome mends establishment of a National En« ergy Board to serve government in an advisory capacity, Properly implement- ed, these recommendations coula help development of the oil and gas induse tries in the national interest, However, the complex wnd extensive system of controls which the Commission pro poses could do little else than hamper the energy industries and restrict their development . . . In spelling out restric tive regulations for pipelines and exe tensive powers for a National Energy Board, the Commission is actually re- commending machinery that could con- trol all the activities of the oli and gas industries, This is one of the most dis- turbing aspects of the report." As president of a big company intie mately involved in the oil business, Mr, White could be expected to take a highly critical view of the report, But his criticism is still founddd on a life= time of expert experience and observa tion, It cannot be lightly dismissed, Quiet Work For Humanity The noise of conflict and violence is po strong in the world that all too often we miss the quiet contributions to hu= manity of great but modest men, The headlines are given to the tales of na~- tions at odds, of men and machines in crashing death, The continuing story of the men who go about their inspire ed jobs without fanfare and publicity, asking no recognition except from their own consciences, is generally found only in the small type. How many people outside Europe ever heard of the Rev. Dominique George Pire? We doubt if one person in ten thousand in North America could have identified him before thie week-- before he won the Nobel Peace Prize. And this despite the fact that Father Pire openly sought the prize, not for personal glory but for the $41,227 sum that gues with it--money that would help his crusade to aid the refugees in Europe. Father Pire, who won the Belgian War Cross with Palms and the French Legion of Honor for service as an ace tive member of the wartime under= ground, heads an organization known as "Europe of the Heart." He has launched a campaigr to build 20 Eu- ropean village. for refugee families, He has already, set up five in Germany ard Belgium, "In addiiion he runs homes for sick and aged refugees in Belgium, The Nobel prize money, he says, would go towards the completion of a new village he is building for 20 refugee families near Brussels, What Father Pire is doing will have ne influence or the policies and decis~ ions of the statesmen who balance peace and war in their hands.But be- cause of the work of Father Pire and others like him, humanity has a little more peace of mind® because it has a little less on its conscience. Checking Lung Cancer If lung cancer continues to increase ot its present rate, during the next 25 years, one man in every three in Can- ada will be afflicted with the disease according to Dr, Darrell D, Munro, tho- racic surgeon at the Royal Victoria and Royal Edward Laurentian Hospitas in Montreal, In the last 15 years the num- ber of cases of lung cancer have in- creased 500 per cent, and is a cause of concern to the Canadian Cancer So- ciety, Dr, Munro suggests chest x-ray ex- aminations every six months to check this appalling increase. Main reason we are ¢iting this some- what dark picture is because Dr. Mun- ro sheds some sunshine on a condition which once was dark and fatal, If people themselves will do their part the lethal effects of the disease can be minimized considerably, 1 caught in time the once-fatal ailmen can be very effectively cured even if a whole lung has to be removed. Progress is being made against the cancer killer, It may be slow, but it is speeding up, Research made possible by dedicated men and growing finan- clal assistance from the general public is giving rise to the hope that it will not be long until the barrier of mystery which shrouds the cause will be batter- ed down, and cancer will recede into the past with tuberculosis, smallpox, diphtheria and one-time plagues which formerly swept whole communities and nations, But while science is searching for a break in the barrier mankind can help itself by doing the many preventive things which are either common knowl= edge or are easily obtained, What Dr, Munrc suggests is that men, who seem particularly allergic to lung cancer, should have two x-rays a year and if there is any evidence of the ail- ment, catch it and kill it in its early and curable stages. Founts Of Knowledge These answers are taken from the general paper of the British general college entrance examination of 1958: Van Gogh had such a lust for life that it eventually overcame him, and he cut off his right ear and painted a portrait of himself with his head swath- ed in bandages.

The long lead in this field recently disclosed by the Rus- slans serves to prove how right Mr, Murphy was. As chairman of the important House of Commons committee on mines, forests and waters, Mr, Murphy last session directed its enquiries largely towards the steps being taken to implement Pri me Minister Diefenbaker's Vision" of northern develop- ment, Through Mr, Murphy's own vision and efforts, that became the most interesting, although not the most headlined, commit. tee of Parliament. When Parliament 'adjourned, "Murph" flew off on a long trip deep into that visioned northland. Shortly after, the prime minister himself arrived at Whitehorse and Dawson City, and was able to learn of the impression cre- ated among Yukoners by the well . informed observations and intelligent questions underlying Murph's great belief in the ful- filment of the vision of develops ment of the immense riches in their land. TELL YOUR CHILDREN Now Murph is back, relating to dwellers in southern Ontario's ba. nana belt the certainty of the the fortunes which will be made in our fortunate northland. As the guest speaker at many service clubs, he has described how he travelled 'from Sarnia to the Arctic Ocean chiefly to see 'the routes of some of 'the roads the government plans to build in the northern territor. jes." The world's greatest search for oll and gas, in terms of the area involved, is right now underway in the Yukon and the Mackenzie district of the Northwest Territor- jes, he told his audiences, That area covers more than 70,000,000 acres, equivalent to half the en- tire province of Alberta, Many Canadians are losing, or fearing the loss of, their jobs, be- cause of our enormous degree of dependence upon the economy of i] the United States. In this present era of economic uncertainty, the brightest ray of hope on our hor- zon is the promise of greater independence for Canada, and more jobs at home for Canadians, through the development of our northern riches, Murph explains this forcefully in these words: "One of the most heartening things in the last few years in Canada has been the growing realization by Canadigns every- where of the importance of the tremendous area that lies north of all our provinces. For some 90 years the achievement of the task of Confederation in linking the east and west of Canada has oc- cupled all our efforts and ener. gles--occupled them so much that we tended to forget that we were only living and working in a tiny portion of this vast coun- try." EMPTY LIVING ROOM "Canadians did not become fully aware of their inheritance," continues Mr, Murphy, "until the present prime minister of Cane ada, the Right Honorable John Diefenbaker, drew their attention to the vastness that lay still un- developed -- and to the great wealth that it undoubtedly holds. This new realization--and the hopes and aspirations that are at- tached to it--has been called "'the vision," The area which Murph is talks ing about comprises not only the Yukon and the N.W.T., but alse the huge empty northern area of all our provinces except the first three Maritimes, This adds up to the enormous acteage of seven-tenths of Canada's land area, This is larger than all but half a dozen countries in the world, yet it is the home of merely one per cent of our pop ulation, Mr. Murphy's sincere belief in the vision, his profound knowl- edge of the problems and poten. tial of the North, and his 13 years of parliamentary experi. ence combine to suggest that Sarnia has an MP who may de- servedly receive the honor of greater parliamentary responsie bilities associated with the Can- ada of tomorrow, Our north would have a great champion in that fighter from Sarnia. QUEEN'S PARK Attorney-General |= Leadership Asked £% By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Oshawa Times TORONTO--We are heading for a crisis in administration of just- fce. Within a week here in Toronto there were two happenings that put justice in a glaring lime- light, One was an action by Magis- trate Tupper Bigelow in ordefing to the cells overnight a mother of three charged with a $2.50 theft and who couldn't raise bail. The second was the mass ar- rest of members of North York police division on charges of theft and breaking. In the first case Arthur Ma- loney, QC., the prominent fed- eral member, announced he would ask Premier Frost to re- lieve Magistrate Bigelow of duty, The second shocked Toronto and its press. MANY INCIDENTS The city now is alive to a suspicion that some other people have held for 'a considerable time This is that law enforcement and administration of justice in the province have been drifting. Over the past 12 to 18 months there has been a wealth of inci dents to bolster this belief There was the incident in the Georgian Bay area where officers of the Crown were publicly cen- sured by a higher court. There has been a regular se ries of disturbances in local po- lice forces, with chiefs resigning, forces quitting and other confi- dence-shattering developments. There have been some extra- ordinary decisions and actions on the part of magistrates, They all have added up to a picture which leaves little ques- tion that the structure of justice is showing cracks, ENOUGH LEADERSHIP? How it will be corrected is a question that still remains un- answered, This is a matter that largely rests with public 'opinion, 1f and when it makes itself Yelt strongly enough there will be ace tion here. Until it does there is not much likelihood of any effective meas. ures. The policy of the government to date has been to put justice on a pedestal and approach it in humility. When he has been challenged in the House on various questions ° Attorney - General Roberts has taken the position he can't "dics tate" to the machinery of justice. And he can't, of course, But he does have to give leadership. Sooner or later Mr, Roberts will have to give a statement of his opinion on where leadership ends and dictation begins, There are those who would say he has not been too clear on the point, Young At 71 Woman Tries For Office LONDON, Ont, (CP)--"I'm still young at 71," declared Mrs, Down with a toss of her head, "And if I'm as sprightly at 72, I'll be back on the ballot again, for sure." If Mrs, Lucy Cole Down goes ahead with that plan, it will be her 26th attempt to gain public office In London. She's still de- termined to give her fellow cit izens the benefit of her years of work and Interest In civic affairs, But not this year, "I have other plans," she ex- plained, "and I must get them cleaned up first." Had she entered the race, she would have been a candidate for alderman 'in Ward 2. Mrs. Down has probably en- tered and lost more municipal elections than any other person in Canada, 18 times for the hospital trust and seven for council, 'But I want all my friends to know I'm not giving up," she sald. I'm sorry I can't run this year, but I'll be back." COMMUNIST CLASSES BERLIN (Reuters)--East Ger- man workers are to attend spe- clal evening classes on Marxist.
