THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S, Oshawa, Ont, Poge 4 Tuesdoy, August 5, 1958 It's A Good Country: We Should Be Grateful News of upheavals in various parts of the world such as has come from Iraq and Cyprus recently and which has come from widely scattered areas on virtually every continent for some time, should make Canadians take a second look at themselves and their country and be thankful for the kind of land they live in -- where peace and prosperity go hand in hand, Part of that prosperity has been as- sociated with the growth of Canada's human resources, This has been brought out rather strikingly in a recent report of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics which states that babies were born in Canada during 1957 at the rate of al- most one each minute, Although immigration has been slow- ed considerably during the past year su as not to aggravate the unemploy- ment situation, there has been a rec- ord flow of people into Canada during the past dozen years since the end of World War II. Many of these have come from nations that have fallen under the tyrannical yolk of communism in the past 12 years or so almost 1,700,000 peo- ple have come to Canada in this way, and coupled with those already here and those who have been born, the population, as of June 1, of this year, had exceeded 17 million, A population growth of 50 per cent in the post war years marks Canada as one of the world's fastest growing countries. And according to the Population Reference Bureau, an in- dependent organization in the Unit- ed States which has been doing some research on this country, the high ra- tio of resources to people places it in the "most favorable position in the world." It has 4.3 persons per square mile in proportion to the 58 per square mile in the United States. So it can hardly be said to be overcrowded. One of the most remarkable things about such a rapid population growth has been that the newcomers have been Mr. Coldwell Mr. Coldwell's decision to carry on as leader of the CCF for another two years will be applauded by Canadians of all political affiliations, He has been a distinguished parliamentarian and a public servant of high purpose and im- peccable reputation, One can disagree with his political ideas and still admire the man for his many great qualities, His decision to remain at the CCF helm means that his voice will still be heard with authority in the political world, and that is needed. The pity of Family And Newspapers recently carried a report about a woman who was placing her three sons for adoption because she was sepgrated from her husband and the man she plans to marry after di- vorce proceedings are complete doesn't want to look after them, There were other angles to the story, but basically it is another case of the broken home, This is a term that is heard all too often in our generation, What is more, it is used all too lightly as a catch-all for blame in relation to such things as juvenile delinquency and other regretable symptoms in our so- ciety, The family unit is (or should be) one of the bulwarks of our civilization, But when those who form it don't under- stand its true function there is trou- ble not only for the families concern- ed but for society as a whole. Writing in a syndicated article How- ard Whitman pointed out that entitled "Crash Goes the Family," in the past ten years 40,000,000 homes have been broken in Ncrth America throught dis- loyalty, unwillingness to assume family responsibilities and a naive approach to sex relations that frequently is the cause or the aggravation of the other symptoms, What is more, he points out that So- The Daily Times-Gazette I.

And it adds this comment, which, to us, seems very revelant to both our growth and our prosperity: "We have problems but though there is every need for vigilance) we can re- joice that Canadians have as much in- dividual freedom as any people in the world today, and a great deal more than most. "We are free, among other things, to worship and vote as we please; to ex- press our own opinions, however eccen~ tric, and to read and/or hear those of others; to move from one place to an- other without hindrance; to change our jobs at will; to go into business for our= selves; to leave the country and return to it as and how we choose. And let it never be forgotten, we are free from wrongful arrest or detention without charge or trial." These are the basic freedoms and there are millions of men, women and children who do not have them in the 20th century. They were won for us by other men in other countries at great personal sacrifice, and maintained by others of our own generation, Is it any wonder that those in dis- tant lands seek out the peace aud free- dom of this nation, ard for the most part show their -atitude by helping to make it prospe Carries On it is that it cannot be heard in Parlia=- ment, He was one of the most distin guished members of the Commons from his election in Rosetown-Biggar in 1936 until his defeat in the general election of last March. He has led the CCF since 1938, At the age of 70, Mr, Coldwell might well have said, "I have done my bit." But his response to his party's plea is typical of his profund and austere de= votion to his political faith' and to pub= lic service in general. We wish him well, Cy 111 ti viet Russia, whose Communist philos- ophy at first laughed at love and mor- ality, learned the hard way that it was on the wrong track and today has switched to developing stronger family ties and a new morality, The same is true of Red China, According to Dr, Morton Fried, of Columbia University, an authority on Red China, "there is a distinct spread of monogamy, Communist China is ene couraging 'amily life with enormous zeal, Its purpose is to strengthen the social structure." And we find the anomaly of conven= tional family life growing and flourishe ing in countries that embrace a philos= ophy which on the surface condones free love and immorality; while in the Western democracies which have long prided themselves on the family tradi- tion the same unit is languishing. The breakdown in family life under- mined the power of ancient Greece and brought down Rome. Do presen. con- ditions in the Western world mean the same for us? It need not be if we come to grips with the matter. Indeed, the machinery has already been set up in the form of social agencies and speci ally trained personnel.

But again the margin has been slirht A few percentage points over the requifed 66.6 per cent of those voting, And if the old system of a majority of all those entitled to vote had been followed the ques- tion would have been emphati- cally lost Nearly half the producers didn't bother to vote, SIGNIFICANT ISSUE To the observer the signifi- cance of the hog vote goes far beyond the producer's of pigs. It, along with the other market- ing programs represents a radi- cal change in principle in our system, They negate individual rights and introduce a degree of com- pulsion which until their advent was considered at least undesir- able and at most as a factor we wanted to keep out of our demo- cratic lives. Perhaps most significant in the whole question is the fact that in the whole recent history of marketing, at least, not one clear voice has been raised in the Legislature on this question of principle. The debates on the question were most innocuous affairs, with all members quite plainly afraid to say anything which might offend the farmers. SACRIFICE SOMETHING And the question probably il- lustrates well what is happening to our *'democracy" at this par- ticular stage. We are either afraid, or don't know it well enough, to fight and work for it, and as a result it is being weakened, It is the pronounced trend of putting expediency before prine- iple. Or, to say it another way, of replacing hard work with lazi- ness. Strong arguments can be ad- vanced 'in favor of - compulsory marketing. But there isn't one of them that can't be answered. SOLUTIONS POSSIBLE Solutions can be found within our system---as they have been in other jurisdictions. But they all involve hard work and determination, and the ex- pedient of compulsion looks more attractive. It is a trend the observer doesn't like to see, for through the solution of one of our minor problems we lose something from the whole fabric of our way of life However, it can be just a test- ing point. It may be, as so often happens in life, that the trend will swing us so far away that eventually we will land back more firmly on the path than ever. Labor Pondering Tories Recovery By M. McINTYRE HOOD government, these Labor leaders Special London (Eng.) For Oshawa Times-Gazette Correspondent LONDON -- In officiai labor circles, it is admitted that the Macmillan government has made considerable recovery in public opinion, and that the position of Labor is not as happy as it was last fall. This came out in discus- sion at a press conference which we attended at the House of Com- mons, at which Labor leaders stated their views very plainly. It was an off-the-record confer- ence to the extent that no one could be quoted, but the spokes- men were men high in Labor ranks. Questioned as to their views on the possibility of an early election, they were inclined to the view that it would not be this fall -- but probabiy in the early spring. One of the spokesmen ad. mitted that there had been quite a recovery in the government's popularity, adding that this was so true that there was no use trying to deny it. The Labour party simply had to face it. REASONS CITED Reasons for this recovery were cited. The economic situation in Britain had improved greatly. The loss of prestige caused by the re- signation of Chancellor' of the Exchequer Peter Thorneycroft last fall had now been overcome, People had forgotten all about it. And, admitted this Labor lead- er, the London bus strike had not done the party any good politic- ally, but had done it harm, The situation in foreign affairs had aiso turned out favorably for the government, particularly since the Hungarian executions, One spokesman put forward the rather ianieresting theory that when the Russians adopted a tough policy, it hurt the Labor Party politically. When they were acting in a spirit of mediation and friendliness, it hurt the gov- ernment in the public mind UNDECIDED VOTERS A large part of the recovery of popularity on the part of the felt, was due, not to any defece tion from Labor, but to a swing towards the Conservatives on the part of the undecided and uncom- mitted voters. Many who had shown a tendency to turn to the Liberal party were showing a swing back to the govc.nment, The significant statement was made that up to now the 'icreas- ed unemployment had not yet made any impact on public opin. fon, but that if it increased before next spring, its influence would be felt politicaily. The final statement was that the Labor party was no! unduly worried. There had been a dang- er that it was becoming complac- ent, because of the swing towards it in the past year. The new policy statements of the Labor Party policy committee, yet to be cry- stalized into a constructive and overall document, would tend to change to emphasis on the party's program. As one individual phrased it, the Labor Party will now fight for things rather than against things, which meant a change from a negative to a positive phil- osophy. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM When a man urges his wife to be a good sport about something it's usually because he has been a bad sport about it. "We had been married only a few weeks when I discovered to my joy that Norman had the makings of a real husband." -- From the Springfield (Ohio) Daily News. Even so, she was a bit late in taking inventory. "If men would slap their wives now and then, there would be fewer divorces," says a judge. Maybe so, but there'd be more funerals. In many a case a headache is a pain in the neck that has moved upstairs. 4 . BYGONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO The Ontario Regiment under the command of Col. Frank Chap- pell and Major R. B. Smith left for camp at Niagara-on-the-Lake. There were more than 100 offi- cers and men in the unit that left for camp. J. Norval Wilson president and manager of Mercury Service Limited announced that a new three-storey garage would be built on the corner of King and Mary streets at a cost of $90,000, St. George's Ukrainian Hall on Albert street was officially open- Heavy rains during a violent thunderstorm flooded a number of Oshawa basements, Excavation was begun for the proposed new Albert Street Unit. ed Church which would cost an estimated $30,000. Rev. R. A. Whattam pastor was in charge of the ceremonies of the sod- turning. North Simcoe United Church (now Northminster) held a street fair on Greta street between Sim- coe and Mary streets. G. D. Conant announced ex- tensive alterations in the old Do- minion Bank Building 7% Simcoe south at a cost of $7000. BRIDGE PLAYER BARRED MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP)-- Directors of the American Con- tract Bridge League Saturday barred Tobias Stone of New York from international matches for a year on a charge of discourtesy during a world tournament in Italy. The board of directors found no basis for a complaint that Stone accused the Italian winners of cheating. FOR BETTER HEALTH Allergic Tendencies Are Often Inherited HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. MORE than half of the com- mon allergies such as hay fever, asthma, eczema and the like can be traced directly to inheritance either from parents or more dis- tant relatives Because of this, many allergic parents, fearful of passing on their allergy to their youngsters, have asked me how they can pre- vent this from occurring. Well, you cannot prevent it. It just isn't, as yet, possible to eliminate the tendency of chil- dren to inherit allergy. WHAT STATISTICS SHOW If it is your side of the family that is allergic, probably one- 'third of your children may de- velop an allergy. If there is al- lergy on both your side and that of your spouse, two-thirds of your youngsters are apt to be allergic. The allergy they develop, how- ever, might not be the same one which bothers the parentr, Now all of this does not mean that these youngsters must suf- fer acute asthmatic attacks, the seasonal annoyan'es of hay fever or the troubles brought on by other allergic disturbances. MUST BE SENSITIZED Even if they are susceptible to allergy, they must become sensitized to a particular sub- stance and then must become re- exposed to it before they will de- velop symptoms. By avoiding things that are likely to bring on an attack of allergy, you can generally avoid the attack. It's not always easy to do, of course, but you can take a few precautions that. might pay off big dividends. For example, don't begin feed- ing infants too early with such foods as eggs, nuts, fish, etc., which sensitizes readily. PREVENTATIVE MEASURES It might be a good idea to get rid of your pet dog or cat, May- be it will help to enclose the mattress and box springs in a plastic casing. You can help keep pollen and molds out of your home by a filtering apparatus or an electro- static device which cleans the air by an electrical ¢' arge. Surgical procedures such as re- moving adenoids and tonsils are of little value in helping allergies such as asthma, QUESTION AND ANSWER D. §:: My baby was born with- out any opening to have bowel movements.

If confirmed, the move would be a conciliatory ges- ture in the Church-state crisis set off by a raid July 21 on Jasna Gora, the Polish national shrine, by officials of the state prosecu- tcr's office.
