lye Oshawa Times B Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Saturday, November 15, 1958 Suggest Whitby College Suitable For Some time ago we suggested that provincial and university authorities might well look to this district for a site for the proposed new university. The advantages of this area are ob- vious -- outside the complications and hubbub of Metropolitan Toronto but within easy reach of the bulk of On- tario's population and the research fa- cilities of the University of Toronto, the Royal Ontario Museum and similar Institutions. Indirect support 'for this argument has come from the editor of the United Church Observer, athough he looks at the question from a different view= point. In the most recent issue of the Observer there is the following editor- ial: "The best policy for the immediate future for the United Church would be to convert one of its secondary schools into a college of Ligher learning. Albert College, Belleville, is a possibility, and Albert should secure more land imme- diately if at all possible, "The best prospect is Ontario Ladies' College at Whitby OLC has a fine tra- GUEST EDITORIAL Duties And By the REV. 8. C. H. ATKINSON Albert St. Unite? Church, Oshawa Many people delight to babble about their liberties but seldom worry about their responsibilities. There are num- erous organizations for the defense of liberties, but not many which speak up in defence of duties, We cannot boast of our liberties un- less we are willing to admit responsi- bilities, If we want to be free in a free land, and in our voluntary societies have the widest latitude to use our own Expansion dition, a spendid property, and is ade mirably situated at a centre of rapid population growth, "Her buildings are worth $2 million, and even without addition could hane dle teaching for 400 university students now.

It seems conceivable that Victoria Unie versity or U. of T. might do some mo- thering on *1- stert, if needed. Toronto is close enough to secure the sort of teaching assistance needed while a changeover is taking place. And a col= lege at Whitby could serve the whole community--and it's going to be scme community to serve." Liberties initiative, ther we accept responsibility. Jesus enunciated the principle of the sacredness of human personality, We preserve the dignity of the individual in society, when we quit becoming cone tented cows watching the world go by, The animal has no inherent rights nor liberties, but neither does he have any conspicuous responsibilities, The greatest danger we face in this land of the free, is not that some of our liberties might be taken from us, but that we lose our sense of responsibility and therefore lose our freedom, must be ready to Control Of Farm Crops The Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture has voted in favor of a tightly managed farm economy. At its meeting in Torontn this week it approvec a re- solution calline for controls on produc tion and marketing and a two-price system for fain produce (the latter a device to avoid the use of the unhappy word "subsidy.") It made one conces- sion to the legendary independence of farmers; it felt that final action should be left to commodity groups within the lederation. The resolution did not get unanimous support from the delegates. Many were doubtful, and rightly so, about the ef- ticacy of controls as a solution to the allied problems of prices and surpluses. Meanwhile, in Ottawa Agriculture Minister Havkness was appealing for voluntary production curbs to prevent a pile-up of surpluses in certain foods. Farmers and provincial farm ministers gave his plea a cool reception; they in- dicated worry over possible higher freight rates; some called for a natione ul crop insurance scheme, soil conserva= tien policies, and more federal farm credit to strengthen farm production measures. Mr. Harkness apparently promised there would be insurance legislation, Production controls have worked fairly well with the growers of flue- cured tobacco, But this is a specialized crop, which can be successfully grown cnly in certain parts of the province, with particular conditions of soil and climate. In general, such controls have not had much ruccess. Crop control is impossible, in the strict sense. The acres seeded can be contiolled, but the crop itself d pends on a variety of factors, not the least ¢f which is the weather. The result f quotas in the United States has been higher production from fewer acres -- and a greater problem of surpluses, This has been the result of more efficient use of the available acreage.

And a lot can happen between the plan- ning, the harvesting and the selling. Then no matter how production is cone trolled -- unless there is a deliberate policy fo controlled scarcity, which is indefensible -- the harvest is subject to the vagaries of demand. Other Editor's Views TURN THE OTHER FENDER (From "Time" Magazine) The Spiritual Side of driving a car came in for .ntensive study in Seattle at the first of what the National Safety Council hopes will be a nationwide sere ies of moral-emphasis "safety work= shops." Some 250 laymen and clergymen frem the Puget Sound area--including Protestants, Romar Catholics, Greek Or= thodox, Jews and Buddhists -- met to discuss ways ard means of awakening the -conscience of the man behind the wheel, "We obscure the view through our windshields with suspended St, Christo= pher replicas to win the protection of a patron saint," said the Rev. Martin L, Goslin of Seattl~'s Plymouth Congrega~ tional Church, "but how much do we do for a moral frame of mind? Assuredly we are called upon . . . not necessarily to enjoin peuple to turn the other cheek, but more sppropriate to turn the other fender." FANCY THAT, NOW! (Ottawa Journal) In Toronto former Finance Minister Walter Harris told a Liberal club that all that was found by the Public Ace counts Committee investigating outlays for the Printing Bureau was "its costs had increased to just about the same point that each husinessman had found his costs increaseed over (he same pers ind."

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- About four months ago, in this column, I predicted that the proposed European Free Trade Area, strongly supported by the British government, was a dead issue. The obstacle in the way, it was reported then, was the attitude of General de Gaulle against it. That prediction has now been fully borne out. Reginald Maud- ling, paymaster - general in the Macmillan government, has come back from Paris empty-handed after a futile effort to win France over to agreeing to a 17 country free trade area to be brought into existence on January 1 next. On that date, the common market set up by France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg will be in operation. Its opera- tions could be disastrous to Brit- ish exports to these countries, un- less Mr. Maudling, handling the negotiations for the British Gov- ernment, had been able to achieve a miracle, and have the 17 nation European Free Trade Area established on the same date. French opposition has ef- fectively blocked all his efforts. Now it is a thousand to one against the European Free Trade Area being achieved for a con- siderable time to come, if ever. CONCERN IN BRITIAN With these six countries reduc- ing their tariffs by progressive stages until they are completely wiped out, and Britain left out- side, there is considerable con- cern in export circles about what will happen to British trade with them when their common market goes into operation. Maudling has only one card left to play. De Gaulle is anxious to have some revision in the set-up of NATO. France wants to have a bigger say in Western Policy. If de Gaulle can get British back. ing for his NATO plans, the ex- perts claim, he may be willing to withdraw at least some of his opposition to Britain's European Free Trade block. But at the mo- ment the prospects of that are not any too good, REAL MOTOR BOOM Britain's most successful motor show in history has ended in the middle of a terrific boom for car manufacturers. For the first time on record, a British car firm has had to put up *'sold out" no- tices outside its show rooms. Summing up the situation at the close of the show, Sir Leon- ard Lord, chairman of the British Motor Corporation, said: "The public are going on a buy- ing spree, and the results can only be good for manufacturers. Things could not look better for home and overseas markets. This boom is going to solve all our labor problems." In the course of the show it was visited by 534,422 people over 50,000 more than last year. J. A. Smith, assistant managing director of Ford Motors, declared- it was the busiest motor show on record for the company. In the course of the show, his company passed its export record for the whole of last year, as the 184,- 857th Ford vehicle was shipped overseas. In the face of rising British unemployment, the motor indus- try is one of the brightest spots in the country's economic pic- ture. INSTALMENT DEBTS With the discontinuance of con- trols on instalment buying of automobiles, furniture and house- hold appliances, the instalment debt of the British people, per capital has risen sharply. In July of 1857, it was figured, every than, woman and child in Britain was reckoned to owe £8. 16 5. 0d. on credit purchases, about $22.00 per capita, TODAY it is up to £10. 5s. ($28.10.) Yet in comparison with Can- ada and the United States, this is a low figure. Canada's hire pur. chase debt is three times per capita what it is in the United Kingdom. Australia's figure is al- most exactly the same as that of Canada. The United States in- stalment buying debt is five times higher per capita than that of the United Kingdom. But with restrictions gone, Britain is likely to narrow the gap considerably before very long. Stores and salesrooms deal. ing in articles usually sold on the hire purchase, or stalment scheme, are besieged 'with buy- ers, and the rush is expected to go on unabated until after the Christmas season. TAILPIECE In England there is an organ- ization known as the League Against Cruel Sports. It has been going all out in a campaign against deer hunting. Now the Canadian chemical industry is being brought into its activities. When deer hunting season open- ed, the League tried to put the hounds off the scent of the deer by spreading chemicals on the fields. Huntsmen, however, GALLUP POLL OF CANADA Diefenbaker Gets Okay For World Leadership !

In the Maritimes and the West @ larger proportior of the people siderably more voters award him the top-ranking "'excellent" than the more lukewarm "fair." To find out how Canadians are : npreciating the work of the three leaders in the Western world, the Gallup Poll asked the same question about M~. Eisen- how r an' Mr. Macmillan as ER HAo BEEN DOING?" Most voters have made up Canadians who have no parti- cular political leaning, and say they do not know how they would vote if a Federal election were held today, show a hig'er "ex- cellent" rating for Mr. Diefen- baker's role than any party ex- cept the Conservatives them- selves.

Ontario County was the first county in Canada to fly the Vie- tory Leen Fonor Flag for achiev. ing its objective. The J. E. Beaton Grocery Store advertised soldiers' treats in Christmas boxes at $2 and $3, containing 28 articles. The Mayor, Medical Officer and Citizens' Committee decided that schools, theatres and churches could be reopened as the influenza epidemic v'~ ' over, The armouries which was fitted up as an emergency convales- cent hospital to take care of in- fluenza patients under the direc- tion of Misses Jean and Mary Keddie, McGregor and Graham was closed.

Austin Shaw, former pro- prietor of the Queen's Hotel, who had left Oshawa in 1876, return- ed for his first visit here. The women of the canning factory, Cobourg, were Dreseined with service badges similar to those given to the farmerettes by the Government. The average tax fate for towns in the district was 23 mills. William Weeks ' purchased a 10-acre fruit farm from William Miller for $1,900. Local YMCA observed a week of prayer for the soldiers over- seas, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM claimed that the chemical did not prevent them going through to the kill in their chase of the deer. Now the League has discovered a new chemical much stronger than the one previously used, It has been imported from Canada, and the League hopes it will be effective in spoiling the sport of the deer hunters. OTTAWA REPORT Liberals Seeking Funds, Men, Ideas By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The advisory coun- cil of the National Liberal Fed- eration is meeting here for three days next week. The chief task facing the 260- member council is "to prepare Liberal party organizations for the next federal election" --likely to be held in the early part of 1962. The second task of the meet- ing is to "'review Liberal policies in the light of changing eondi- tions in Canada and abroad." Behind that innocuous verbiage of the official announcement lie some brutally frank chores. These are in effect to try to pick up the money, the men and the ideas--important in that order-- capable of winning a federal gen- eral election. And they won't be as easy to pick up as '"'the pieces" which Liberal Leader Mike Pearson said he would 'be back to pick up" following a week's holiday in Florida after last March's voting. "Pieces" is just about all that is left of the great Liberal ma- chine which ruled Canada with its aloof, unchallengeable and un-' bending rod during so many years. WAR CHEST EMPTY Money for political campaign- ing comes in big and middle- sized contributions from business. And business does not consider itself a charity to feed the under- dog. For long it starved the Con- servative party; now, guided by the easy and obvious yardstick of the public opinion polls, it. re- garda the Liberal party as some- thing currently even humbler than the under-dog. So money is scarce for the Liberals today, a fact which is eloquently Ain i in the small number of western delegates expected to make the expensive journey to Ottawa for this week's meeting. Men of quality are hard to at- tract as candidates for a party which at best can offer them four years hard labor in opposition. This is a fact of politics; but it is very regrettable. Where are the promising young men, and the able men of middl one, from free enterprise to the welfare state, from increased op- portunity for business to compete in the fields monopolized hitherto by Crown corporations to the higher old age pension. This is the cheerless backdrop, against which the Liberal high command is meeting this week. Nevertheless the se delegates from all parts of Canada are moving to their task with en- thusiasm. They will start by re- vitalising the EE national ive, repl tives of the defeated old Guard with younger Liberals with the forward look. Liberal Federation Pr We seem to have a dim recol- lection that some psychologist, whose name we can't recall, said a man's mind is no better than his memory. Indications are that when the meek inherit the earth, they will profit very little unless they can find a go~d market for junk. It seems about the worst thing than can happen to a marriage is for it to be widely heralded as an ideal one. Another necessity these days' that has a luxury price tag on it is a college education. Few things are getting higher faster than a higher education Anybody who doesn't believe in hell these days isn't keeping up with the news of the world. A centenarian attributes his longevity to his never having taken a bath. At that, he prob- ably escaped all contagious dis- Duncan MacTavish wishes to re- sign; he is likely to be succeeded by ex-transport minister George Marler on the new basis of a whole-time paid president. And Leader Pearson will report on his unceasing efforts on the stump right across Canada, to re- infuse enthusi for Liberalism age or older with promise ful filled, who together made up those Liberal cohorts even two years ago? They have run for cover, seek- ing financial opportunities more promising than their own immed- iate political future, with a few honorable exceptions such as Mr. Pearson himself, Paul Martin, George Mcllraith, Bill Benidick- son, Dr. W. H. McMillan and a few lesser lights. SEEK PUBLIC APPEAL The ideal? In conference at Orillia recently, the Ontario Young Liberals heard the asser- tion that the Diefenbaker Conser- vatives stand today on the politi cal ground hitherto occupied by the Liberal party. Perhaps that speaker meant in effect that the Liberals, who long had attempted with considerable success to occupy the middle as -well as both sides of the political road under Mackenzie King, can now find very little space for manoeuvre against a government which offers something for every among the voters.

QUEEN'S PARK Too Many Changes In Debate Report By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent to The Oshawa Times TORONTO--There are charges of tampering with the official record in Ottawa. The report of the sessions of the public accounts committee is said to have been changed. From experience here this could easily be credited as true. The newspaperman finds over the years that the official sten- ographic record is one of the most vulnerable of parliamentary institutions. CREEPING ROT It is probably more open than any other to the constantly threat- ening paliumentary disease of creeping rot This disedse works through con- cessions. A concession is made here and another there, And soon an undermining job is well underway. Hansard in Britain operates ua- der tighter rules, There the Hansard editor is a man of importance, And the Han- sard itself is verbatim. The only changes permitted are for mis- reporting of fact, NO RECORD i Here we are much more cas- ual. Changes are permitted. The- oretically these are supposedly only to improve the English and make for clarity. But a very un- usual interpretation can be put on clarity, Sometimes, for instance, it seemingly can clear things up by not having them in at all. One instance of this was at the wind-up--in a blow-up--of the On- tario Highways probe. Kelso Roberts, then a private member and chairman of the committee, put on a highly dra- matic show.
