hye Osharoa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Monday, December 15, 1958 Panic Or Smugness In . ! A US. news agencv recently distri- Buted a report about the iron situation ih the Soviet Union. The writer thought that the Soviet would have trouble with its plan to out-produce th: United States because if faced a shortage of fron unless large deposits of ore were uncovered and could be mined, Then He reported that "huge new iron ore deposits" had been found in Central Russia, Siberia and Kazakhstan, but 'imost of the new deposits in European Russia are difficult to exploit" because "much of the Kursk ore must be haul- ed from beneath a watery layer as much as 400 feet down, requiring enor- mous drainage operations." : This sort of reporting is misleading, Either the Russian iron problem has been over-simplified or the correspon- dent failed to do any research before compiling his story, An extensive deposit of high grade iron ore was discovered beneath an Ontario lake more than 20 years ago. That was Steep Rock Lake, near Atiko- kan, Engineers decided that removing water from the lake was feasible, and started the job in December, 1943. The first ore shipments from Steep Rock were made in September, 1944, It be- came an open-pit operation after the water was pumped out and the over- burden stripped. By 1046, ore ship- ments had increased to 826,000 tons. What Ontario engineers coula do fif- teen years ago, Russian engineers can surely do today, pinions About Soviet The wire service report demonstrates one of the big flaws in North American attitudes towards Russian achieve- ments, We seera to veer wildly between smugness and panic. At one moment we congratulate ourcelves that after all we're much smarter than a bunch of illiterate peasants, and the next mo= ment we wail that the Russians have a better school system than we have, are further advanced scientifically and generally are outstripping us, Readers will recall the. panic following the launching of Sputnik I. Now, it seems, we're back to the cycle of smugness. The Russians may indeed be having trouble with supplies of iron ore and scrap iron. But they do have extensive ore bodies and doubtless will find ways of exploiting them, just as ways were found to develop the deposits in Ontar- io and Labrador, Our trouble seems to be that we are constantly either over estimating or under-estimating the capabilities of our opponents. Either fault is a bad one. Smugness can blind us to what we ourselves must do to keep pace with the opnonents, while panic can drive us into hasty and ill-considered action, The press must share the blame for this situation, but an honest effort is being made to provide readers with the information that enables opinions to be formed on the basis of reason rather than emotion, Hardened To Violence The story of the 20th century so far has been a story of violence -- of wars hot and cold, of revolutions, booms and depressions, Have we become so hard- ened to violence that we have lost our capacity for shock? The question has been asked more and more frequently in the past half-dozen years by people who decry the complacency of our age, The New York Times, discussing the question editorally, observed that there is mo general outcry in evulsion "as there ought to be, against the stabbings in the back, the bomb-throwings and the violent deaths of innocent civilians that have been going on in countries where patriotism is sometimes used as a cloak for mere murder." The Times cohtinued: The shooting down of civilians, in- clading women, in cold blood on the streets of Cyprus should horrify the world and do only harm to the cause iniwhose name such atrocities are com- mitted. Yet Archbishoo Makarios says i. New York this week that "I can- not condemn violence,' We think this kind of cowardly violence ought to be condemned, whether it occurs in Cy=- prus against the British or in Algeria against the French or in France against Pro-French Algerians, It has occurred in many places of this world since the Communists in Russia and the Nazis in Germany first demonstra- ted for the modern age how terrorism could be conducted on a really gradiose scale; and it merits the condemnation of civilzed men everywhere and at ev~ ery time and every place no matter how sympathetic they may be to the ultimate political goal of the terrorists. There are even some countries now where terrorism is legalized -- which is the only way one can properly des- eribe the savage trials in Iraq that have resulted in the death sentence for re- spected political leaders whose '"'trea- son" consisted merely in having been on the losing side, This is terrorism, too, and it needs to be shown up for what it is, The Virtues Of Apples An apple a day keeps the doctor away -- so we have long been told, The October issue of the Farm Journal thus elaborates the theme: Feeling tense? Head ache? Emotions on edge? Then eat a couple of apples every day. Michigan State University researchers say that apples may be one of nature's best tranquilizers. They find that stu- dents who eat two apples a day have fewer tensions, her daches and emotional upsets than those who eat none. And this by a 12-to-1 ratio! "Besides, preliminary results show that those who eat apples have fewer Bible Thoughts A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of 'the wicked are cruel---Proverbs 12:10. We even have societies for the pre- vention of cruelty to animals. Some are not so much Interested in human be- ings. The Osharon Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager. C.

JONES Canadian Press Staff Writer VANCOUVER (CP)~--A series of political storms rocked the Social Credit ship in British Co- lumbia in 1958 and the prophets are saying there may be even heavier seas ahead for Premier Bennett's administration in 1959, During the year a former min. ister was sentenced to five years in prison for bribery and con- spiracy while in cabinet office. One party member crossed the floor of the legislature. There were increased attacks on the government by opposition parties and the premier was re- peatedly criticized for his debt. reduction policies, Squalls also blew up over the proposed de- velopment of the Peace and Co- lumbia Rivers for power. BIGGEST STORM At the year's end the biggest storm of all developed when H. Lee Briggs, manager of the gov- ernment-controlled B. C. Power Commission, attacked the pre- mier's policies as finance mini ster. He sald Mr. Bennett was trying to juggle commission fi- nancing to fulfil a political prom- ise to make B, C. debt-free by 1960. The premier denied it and promptly announced a royal come mission inquiry into all phases of the commission's operations. Mr. Briggs, a former manager of the Winnipeg Hydro system, was promptly fired from his job. He sald he had no political mo- tives but he made a speaking tour, reiterating his criticisms and ealling for the ousting of the Social Lredit administration, Premier William Andrew Cecil Bennett, a 58-year-old hardware merchant turned politician who entered politicis in 1941 and took the premiership in 1062, steered the Boclal Credit ship through all the squalls. He professes to like it best when the going gels rough The premier has denied CCF assertions that he Is preparing for a spring election, He has In. dicated that his party, reelected BYGONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO During the first year of the opening of Ajax Blood Donors' Clinic, 1875 donations were made. local pupils had contributed through thelr schools the sum of $251 for the Navy League of Ca- nada.

Fraser; directors, Herb Robinson, Don Jackson and Stan Shantz, Increased production of local industrial plants engaged in the making of war materials was re- flected in the fact that Oshawa Railway buses had travelled 1, 573,581 miles since Jan. 1, 1040, which set a new record The Times-Gazette had a cir- culation of 7467, Dr. 8. J. Phillips was appoint. ed to the Board of Directors of the local Chamber of Commerce as successor to C. E. McTavish who had resigned, owing to his removal to Toronto.

OTTAWA REPORT Fairy Godmother To Air Transport By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA~The federal govern. ment is increasingly willing to act as fairy godmother to alr only transportation, shouldering the costly overhead expenses in this temporary devel period more generously ft any gov. ernment ever did for shipping, railroads or highway buses, Trans Minister George Hees told Parliament that, under the national Hrpart plan, his de- partment "will be responsible for the financing and construction of runways, taxiways, lighting sys. tems and aids to navigation needed at any airport served by scheduled airlines, And this offer of federal money is regardless of who may. operate the airfield." The department of transport to- day operates no less than 115 major airflelds across Canada, Five comparable airfields are run by municipalities. NOT LARGE ENOUGH -" The number of airliners using most of these airports Is not yet large enough to permit the land. ing fees and rentals to cover the cost of the elaborate organization and complicated equipment re- quired for handling the large modern airliners, The govern- ment has to act as "angel" to these temporarily uneconomic airports, or they would not be operated, Toronto's Malton airport aver- ages 150 air movements each day; enough to let it record the highest profit of any Canadian airport -- $548,000 -- last year, Montreal and Winnipeg were the only other major airports to earn a profit - for the government, which last year shouldered a net loss of $5,000,000 for the whole country, But within a very few years, vastly increased air travel will make all our main airports profitable, SAFETY FIRST Our national aviation = policy has rightly always rated safety as of prime importance, Public money available for aviation has been spent firstly on radio and electronic equipment to guide and assist pilots, Today, a network of all-weather omni directional ranges, blanketing the airways of squthern Canada, is almost com- pleted, AIRPLANE PIECE FALLS MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, (AP)-- A 20-pound piece of metal identi- filed as an exhaust stack from a large airplane plummeted down on a Michigan City street Fri. day.

There's a Way to Tell HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD GENERALLY I try to write something of interest to all of my readers. This one, however, of the case. He sald Mr, B had not explained why he waited until 1957 to have charges laid when the evidence was put be fore him in December, 1955, REMINDER TO PREMIER Premier Bennett lashed out at Bryan, Other opposition members reminded the premier that he had done the same thing hi If isa lusively for heavy drinkers and their families, I'm not going .to point an ac. cusing finger, but I am going to glve you some guides to help you determine just how close you may be to becoming an alcoholic. ON WATER WAGON Even alcoholics can go on the once, leaving the John Hart coali- tlon government to cross the floor and sit in opposition because of a policy disagreement in 1961, In regard to the controversy over development of the Peace and Columbia Rivers, Premier Bennett says there Is room for hoth projects In B.C, "The more power we have in BC, the more Industries we shall attract," he says. Development of the Columbia Iver, estimated to cost $200,000, 000, would be a joint Canadian- American effort, Canada would share In the additional electricity developed on the American side, and have control of the water storage facilities on the Canadian side In the Kootenays 250 miles east of Vancouver, The Peace River project calls for a glant power development and an Industrial empire in the north involving a $1,000,000,000 project backed by the multi-mil- lion dollar interests of Swedish industrialist Ael Wenner - Gren, It has the backing of the B.C. government, TEAMSTERS CERTIFIED OTTAWA (CP) -- The Teams- ters' Union was certified Friday as bargaining agent for 15 em- ployees of Champion Freight Lines Limited, Leamington, the Canada Labor Relations Board water wagon, In fact, many of them feel that they have to, for a while at least, to prove to others that they don't really need alcohol, So don't be lulled into a false sense of security simply because you know you can "lay off the stuff' temporarily. BEER EQUALLY RISKY And don't labor under the de- lusion that you can't become an alcoholic because you drink only beer. There are hicoholics who have managed to drink their way into an almost habitual state of Intoxication on beer alone, There are many changes in your drinking pattern which should tell you whether you have become an alcoholic. An alcoholic is distinguished from a frequent or steady drinker by his attitude, ~ MUST HAVE DRINK Generally we concede that a person is an alcoholic when it is not merely a matter of wanting a drink, but of absolutely needing one. If you right along feel that you simply must have a drink for your nerves then you prob. ably are an alcoholic. If you feel that you just must have a drink or two before going to a party where you know you will get alcoholic beverages, then you ™ Mechanical Technology Shee!

"This item has grown to $61,000,000 this year, an increase of 80 per cent over last year," "This," he stressed, "is gear to aviation requirements over th vext 10 years," 2 FULL USE OF THE AIR The significance of this pro- gram lies in the anticipated rowth of our air transportation, t the conservatively - estimated increase of 25 per cent each year, the 4,300,000 airline passengers of last year will increase to about 26,750,000 by 1967, That is roughly 4,000,000 more passengers than our trains carried last year, The airport terminal buildings now being erected will be able to handle this increased traffic without costly alterations or addi- tions, They are the most ad- vanced ip the world, designed es- Joctally for the huge airliners of e Jet age. An aqual farsighted of our national airport plan will help to implement Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's "vision" of northern development, This is the new policy whereby the government will open its purse to help certain types of air- field not meeting the previous re- quirement of being used by schedu"d airlines.
