THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. South, Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Monday, January 30, 1956 Will Eisenhower's Appeal Again Fall On Deaf Ears We have read with a great deal of interest the appeal of President Kisen- hower, addressed to the United States Congress asking for support of his pol- jcies to further freer international trade. We are interested because he has advocated measures which we have frequently, in this column, cited as being necessary to open the doors of the United States to world trade. Eisenhower, in his message, asked for simplification of United States tar- iff and customs procedures. He asked that Congress authorize U.S. member- ship in a new international Organiza- tion for Trade Co-operation to replace the provisional General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. He urged a new drive to increase the flow of American capital to develop the resources of friendly countries, and intensified ef- forts to reduce barriers to the interna- tional flow of goods, capital and busi- ness enterprise. Unfortunately, under the United States constitution, the president ac- Help For Those The people of Oshawa and district have in the past had an enviable repu- tation for opening their hearts, and their purse-strings to families in dis- tress and special need. On several oc- casions when families have lost their homes by fire, they have rallied nobly to the cause of their rehabilitation. Another such case is now before the public, and once again generous assist- ance is being given. On Christmas Day, Ted Nichols had his home at Courtice destroyed by fire. The response to his urgent need was quickly met by neigh- bors, friends and fellow-workers in Duplate (Canada) Limited. A fund was established to help rebuild his home. Striking members of GM unit, Local 222 UAW. volunteered their la- bor to do the work. The Oshawa and District Labor Council set up a com- mittee to organize the fund-raising, tually has very little to say or do with the passing of legislation. In his mes- sages to Congress, he can state his views on what he would like to have enacted. But he has no assurance that Congress will accept his ideas and re- commendations. We believe that ~ President Eisen- hower is absolutely sincere in his views as to the shackles which can be removed from world trade. In spite of his three years in the presidency, how- ever, he has not been able to persuade Congress to go along with him in his desire to open the doors of the United States to goods from other countries. United States officialdom has found many ways to keep out goods which might compete with American indus- try or agriculture, besides the imposi- tion of tariffs. It will be interesting to see how far Congress will go now in putting any of the president's recommendations into effect. Our guess is that it will not go very far. In Distress with Fred Owens as treasurer, and to assist in the re-building project. Gen- erous-hearted citizens and organiza- tions sent in their donations to buy materials. Local building supply firms gave generous discounts on materials bought. In a very real sense, the re- building of the Nichols' home has be- come a community project. As we write this, about half of the money required to complete the pro- ject has been donated. Something over $800 will be needed to give the willing voluntary workers the materials to finish the job. Knowing how the peo- ple of Oshawa have always responded in emergencies of this kind, we are confident that they will see the job is completed, so that Mr. Nichols and his family can be rehabilitated in their new home by reason of the goodness of heart of their fellow-citizens of this community. Quebec Not Whole Of Canada Leon Balcer, the new president of the National Progressive Conservative party, hails from Three Rivers, Que- bec. In a burst of enthusiasm after his election, he made a statement which shows that, like many other French- Canadians, he regards Quebec as the whole of Canada. Speaking in terms of the 1930 gen- eral election, in which Hon. R. B. Ben- nett secured 25 seats in Quebec, and won the election, Mr. Balcer said, "If we win 25 seats in Quebec, we're in." Mr. Balcer overlooks the fact that the political complexion of Canada has changed greatly since 1930. At that time, there were no CCF or Social Credit parties. There was almost en- tirely a two - party election across Canada, except in Alberta, where the United Farmers won 10 seats. There were 245 seats in parliament. Today there are 265. While gains in Quebec would be im- portant, it is not in that province alone that the PC's will have to find Other Editors Views The moth has a comfortable life. He spends the summers in a fur coat and the winters in a bathing suit. An epidemic of jaundice is reported in New Delhi, capital of Inda. Wasn't that the place recently visited by the Russians' top leaders? Steel prices have increased again, meaning, of course, higher costs for construction of large buildings.

There is very little hope that they can take many seats away from the CCF or Social Credit parties in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia, This does not mean, of course, that the Liberal government cannot be de- feated. No government is invulner- able. One has to be practical about these things. If Louis St. Laurent heads his party in the next election we cannot foresee the electors in Quebec deserting him to the extent of electing 25 Conservative members. That would not be within the realm of practical politics. Mr. Baleer nothwithstanding, the Drew-led party will have to con- centrate its attention on other parts of Canada even more than on the prov- ince of Quebec if its hopes to reverse the overwhelming majority now held by the government. Quebec is not yet the whole of Canada. Bits Of Verse MY DESIRE I want each moment of our life And everything we do To be the hapy memories, That 1 have shared with you. Each golden moment of the day, Each silver star at nite And every breath that leaves our lips By dawn or candlelight. I want to walk with you beyond The clouds that gather rain, Into the land where dreams come true And nothing is in vain, Where spring is filled with flowers, And the autumn is a song, And beauty paints a masterpiece Of faith and courage strong. 1 want to share your summers And the winters white with snow, And with our hearts and minds united. Enter a garden of our own.

IN DUPLESSIS CRYSTAL BALL LQ IF Yov THINK 11 THAT WAS BAD «== LISTEN NEWSPRINT pPaL™m pg p-- T---- QUEEN'S PARK Liquor Laws Easier Here By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent To The Times-Gazette TORONTO: A few notes about liquor: In New York State it's really ex- pensive to break the laws. A well- known New York restaurateur was in town a while ago telling about his troubles. He lost hig licence through sale to a minor. It had cost him nearly $50,000 to get it. To get it back, it cost him another $45,000. At least, even in the rosiest times, its never been that bad here It makes a New York operator very careful about obeying the law, however. Such money isn't small change, even to a bar owner. In a recent howl the hotel asso- ciation complained that one of its operators had had his licence can- celled after just one offence. The thing looked fishy, because numbers of operators have had two and three suspensions without los- ing their licences. It turns out the board had no alternative. The operator concerned was charged with selling to a minor. And he pleaded guilty. In such a case there is automatic can- cellation under the Liquor Licence Act. The best building owned by. the government is the new liquor con- trol board head office and ware- house on the Toronto waterfront. Matter of fact it is 'one of the best buildings in Toronto. Its of- fices are bright, modern and im- pressive. Its warehouse facilities can't be topped. A siding within the building will take seven box cars. The truck dock is the latest thing, and re- maing one of the new air trans- port terminal in New York. Best of all, the building was not expensive, We doubt if its per foot cost will be as high as the treasury block (also while it has a few private bath-rooms, they don't have tubs and showers). SAVED TIME The building is the only one of ize in the government serv- any size in the governm ice that is air-conditioned. There is a feeling here that air- conditioning is a "luxury" and therefore it hasn't been put into any of the buildings. g 2 A it might be a good idea if this policy were changed. Last summer the board had no absen- teeism during the terrific heat. In Jlie Other buildings the rate was igh. READER'S VIEWS Observations Given On General Motors Strike Sir,--A great deal has been pub- liched and broadcast about our strike, a great deal of it dealt in personalities or generalities, but very little of it has had any sen- sible bearing on the situation. Dr. Muchmore has criticizend 'our strike as a Canadian battleground of American Big Business versus American Big Union. The Unit. ed Church Observer with its wide circulation published a long story on Strike Town, professing to take no sides and for description of the situation shows, of all people; the statements of Oshawa's strongest anti-unionist newscaster McKay. Gordon Sinclair put the question of why we could not have worked while the negotiations wenton,so certainly he talks without investi- gating the. things of which he speaks. In approximately sixty meetings, except for their deadline offer, the company's only offer was to take away our ten-minute break periods. Here is a suggestion that would prevent any recurrance of the Osh- awa strike. Regardless of what settlement we get in this strike, our contract should be dated to terminate ninety days before the American G.M. contract. On that basis, if G.M. American did not settle without us, the battle would be removed from Canada for keeps. This woul ' removed from our lan. our hoard any stigma of respon- swility, since this period would clear all their regulations in time for all G.M. labour to negotiate together. This would also take away the need of any judge (at $60 a day) requesting extension of negotiating time to get results by talking to only one party in the diepute. This would also increase our respect in the law. THROWN 92 FEET TORONTO (CP)--George Wilkin. son, 69, was killed Friday night when struck by a car. He was hurled 92 feet. RALPH S. JONES and THOMAS H. GREER ASSOCIATES Barristers and Solicitors LOCATED AT 65 SIMCOE ST. S. Diel RA 5.3525 This is the fight of the men and women of Oshawa, not the In- ternational Union, and we are thankful for the support we have received. But G.M., with $1.90 prof- it for every dollar paid in wages can well afford to starve out the less than two per cent of their lab- our force in a country for which they show very little apparent respect. As we now are, it is as a midget with a toothpick striking at a giant, But if our contract times were properly tied in, it would truly be, as Dr, Muchmore has said, a battle of giants, or reasonable and honest negotiations. We of Local 222 do not believe in Al Capp's famous expression "What is good for the General, is good for everybody", while one man gets $800,000 a year, all the stockholders combined only one billion dollars, but needs to be sub- sidized in Canada to compete with smaller manufacturers of like prod- ucts. So, if we build no 1956 cars, that will leave more market and more work for those who are being well-paid for that work. Since the Times-Gazette has, in my opinion, given an honest re- porting job on the strike, I wish to offer my most sincere thanks. ' L. 8. Oshawa, Jan. 2, 1956. John A.

McINTYRE HOOD The modern trend in industry, and it has become more marked in recent years, is to provide shorter wor hours for the work- ers so that they will have more leisure time. The has become fairly well standard in those industries in which labor is well organized. Now there is much talk of having the working week reduced to as low as 32 hours, all in the name of the ob- ective of giving the workers more eisure time. We are not at all sure that peuple wh: are talking of fewer wor hours so as to give work- ers more are on right track. It may be that with the [logiess of automation, work- is Sours pave io be Jd too Jrodus n g far ahead of sales demand. That however is an entirely different rroblem from that of providing more leisure time. The crux of that question is the use which would be made of that extra leisure time if the workers had HORRIBLE EXAMPLE We have been reading something about a survey made recently in South Africa, and it holds up the Snuth African housewife as the horrible example of what can hap- ven when people have too much time on their hands, with nothing to do with it, It appears that a group of psy- chologists, doctors and marriage African ga It was, course, a thing to do, 'be- cause the results were unpredict- able. They came up with this find- - 40-hour week ing. "The South African wife has all the material things that go to make a woman happy, yet she is the most nag, , hen. pecking, dissatisfied wife in the world. : We don't know where the surv. group found its basis for com gn with the wives in other coun- tries, but this was a harsh judg- ment on those of South Africa. But as the report continues, is the crux of the matter: "The reason is idleness; 'not enough to do. The South Afri- can wife, or the average wife down there, lives in a joyless climate of money, labor-savin, cuvices, and two or more na- tive servants. She quickly be: comes bored and miserable. The husband is greeted by a nagging wife after a day of nervous strain, and the tension gradually breaks him down." Of course, perhaps the trouble is not that the South African wives have too much leisure time, but that they have not learnéd how to use it to avoid boredom and dissatisfaction. So those whose ideal is the maximum of non- working hours perhaps need to revise their thinking. There is not when we Visualize A many more hours a time without the slightest idea of what to do with it. Even a sur- feit of watching Sullivan, or Glea- son or Hope or wrestling and foot- ball games on television can duce unrelieved bor 3 er- haps we need to consider a bit r ore the old idea that ha is the most elusive of all the S for which we seek, and that the only sure way not to find it is by k , rather than working, for it. Jews Give Present To Presbyterians MONTREAL (CP) -- For the second time in four years Knox Crescent and Kensington Presby- terian church, has received a thank-you present from local Jew- ish congregations. At the conclusion of a Janua Sunday morning service Rab bi Paul Liner of the Beth Sholom congregation presented a set of communion trays to the church. In March, 1952, Dr. Solomon Frank presented two carved vestibule chairs to the church on behalf of the Jewish congregation of western Notre Dame de Frace, now the Shaare Zedek congregation. Both gifts were in appreciation of the use of' quarters in Presbyterian church hall for High Holiday services during the period the congregations' own synagogues were being built. Rabbi Liner and Harry, Wolfe, president of Temple Beth Sholom, presented the communion trays fo Dr. Clifton MacKay, pastor of the church, and other church officials. MAC'S MUSINGS the tacism, READER'S VIEWS Gives Pointed Opinion On Oshawa GM Strike The Editor, The Times-Gazette, SIR: Since September 19th last, in printed bulletins and radio broadcasts, we have heard mach about the huge profits of General Motors Corporation, and about its alleged callousness in refusing the lawful demands of the employ- ees. We have yet to hear the full, and perhaps true story of the tim- ing and manner in which the strike vote was taken by UAW Lo- cal 222; the appeal to mass hy- steria in the. wild irresponsible harangues, and arrogant pre-strike boasting of Union leaders to the members; for example, the return of two former citizens who turn- ed on a showmanship of dire fana- obsessed with the one thought: "Strike! Strike!" Since 1950, there have arisen plenty of grievances against the Company; but no amount of pro- paganda will ever convince most people in Oshawa ' that the Company is responsible for all the obstruction and stupid delay in the strike that has back-fired. The fear of being tried by Kan- court may workers tgp hy ly. This is no idle fear, when we are dealing with the organization that boasts of its democracy, and yet contrives to have the only news analyst in Canada who has been giving the public any real information' on the strike, cut off from his sponsored time on the air. Do they believe in the demo- cracy they preach, or don't they? The question is not whether news fommmeinator Yu Jckay is em- rrassing them, telling the truth? Besides democracy, the Union top brass have been making quite a noise about Union solidarity. is a fine thing, too, but it should not have to be maintained at the expense of moral courage, and fearless leadership, which at pre- sent are going by default in this community.

FOR BETTER HEALTH Anticlotting Drugs May Ward Off A Stroke By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD toms are associated with clots in There's new hope of preventing certain types of strokes. Two Mayo Clinic physicians say anticlotting drugs may help in cases where blood clots threaten to obstruct a major brain artery. At the present time, the drugs are frequently used in treating heart attacks after a clot has shut down an artery feeding the heart muscle. Drs. Robert G. Siekert and Clark W. Millikan warn against using this treatment as routine for all strokes. They stress the fact that it must be limited to certain categories. Anticoagulants are useful in pre- venting strokes only in individuals who have had some advance warn- ing of the formation of a clot which may eventually obstruct a prime brain artery. Examination of clots which have closed off the basilar artery in the brain's network of blood vessels shows they frequently have a layer- ed physical structure.
