dhe Oshawa Tes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, March 16, 1960 Questions Of Cold War Placed Before People Householders in this area have re- ceived a handbook, "Ideology and Co- Existence", published by the Moral Rearmament movement. The homes in Oshawa and district that have received the manifesto are among the 4.3 million homes in Canada so reached by the Moral Rearmament people. The hand- book has already gone to about 18 mil- lion families in continental Europe, and 40 million more copies will soon be sefit to other countries in Europe, as well as key areas in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The handbook contains statements by wen in high places, clarifying the issues in the cold war and suggesting the course the West should follow in the titanic ideological struggle that is now going on. One does not have to be a supporter of the MRA movement to understand that the free people of the world must have their own bright vision (for that is what an ideology is) to counter the corrupt but sometimes glit- tering vision of the Communists, The Communists pursue their vision with aggressive vigor. Do we of the West equal them in their effort? If we dg not now, and in the future, our vision will be replaced by theirs, because no matter what agreements we reach about limitation of armaments and the conduct of economic competition, they will still cling to their ideology, which is nothing less than a vision of world domination, Swords may be turned into plowshares, but there will still be the competition of ideas. We have the ideas, but have we the energy to foster them and promote them with at least the vigor of our ideological enemies? The MRA booklet: is an attempt to inspire strength for that competition. Some may say that it is a poor attempt, that it is doomed to failure. Perhaps so-- but distribution of the booklet in Scan- dinavia so changed the climate of public opinion there that Khrushchev called off a planned visit and the Communist propaganda mills began churning out savage attacks on the Moral Rearma- It had its effect in Scandinavia. It will be interesting to see ment movement. what its effect will be in Canada. Limit On Lake Trout Chamber of Commerce in resort and recreation areas sometimes let their good sense be clouded by their desire for pro- motion of their local advantages. That is what happens when they stage fish derbies, without restricting the catch to coarse fish. The derbies gain a certain amount of publicity, but more than any- thing else they tend to break down res- pect for good conservation practice by encouraging anglers to kill more fish than they need and can use. A report from Northern Ontario sug- gests that the Timagami Chamber of Commerce is unhappy about the new regulation that limits catches of lake trout in certain waters to three a day, The members of the Chamber fear, ap- parently, that the new limit will give the impression that Lake Timagami is "fished out", That is nonsense. The old limit on lake trout was, in most parts of the province, five a day. That was too liberal. A still more sen- sible limit is that now in force at Lake Simcoe -- two a day. How many families can eat more than two average-sized lake trout a day? And there is always the possibility -- particualrly in such a body of water as Lake Timagami -- that one of the trout will be a hefty one. The limit is defined as fish in the angler's possession. In other words, if a fisherman caught his three lake trout in Lake Timagami and put them in a freezer, they would still be in his posses. sion, If he then proceed to catch three more, he would be over his limit by three. The fish must be consumed, or otherwise disposed of. That is another good reason why the limit of three is generous. For that matter, limits are not marks to be reached but curbs on fish hogs -- and this is what organizations such as the Timagami Chamber of Commerce should be preaching. If every angler at Timagami were encouraged to catch the limit, the lake would soon fail to produce for even the most expert fishermen. Living Off Foreigners There is a recurrent theme in the annual report of the Governor of the Bank of Canada, J. E. Coyne, It is this: There is no reason in principle why Canada could not make great progress without drawing on the savings of fore- igners on a huge scale to finance our capital expenditures, On page after page, directly or indirectly, Mr. Coyne points to the advantages of a "more moderate approach" to economic development. In one place he says: "I am concerned lest Canadians should fail to appreciate or close their eyes to the implications of certain ecpnomic tendencies, in the that there monetary management some magical power or hidden relieve us of the necessary of remedying our situation thought is in hand which will by our own exertions, by not consuming more than we produce, and by prudent management of our collective affairs." In another place: "The adoption of sound and balanced programs for future development, the avoidance of excess in spending and borrowing, and the promo- tion of a more stable and diversified structure of economic activity, have been She Os havo Ses T.

The cessions, without stable unemployment hammered home, reducing dis criminatory import restrictions was made in 1959, the problem of European re- gional groupings remains unresolved and the advantage of "accrued demands" for our staple exports and our special locae tional advantage as a source of supply have diminished.

The deficit on non-merchandise transactions, including freight and ship- ping, travel, and business and other ser- vices, has risen steadily during the 1950s to a level of $1074 million. The over- all current account would been kept in balance if there had been a substantial and growing surplus from trade in goods, but no such surplus has emerged. On the contrary, Canada has had a considerable deficit on merchandise trade as'well. The net surplus with overseas countries, which was $641 million in 1953, declined every year through 1958, and in 1959 there was no surplus but instead a current account deficit. This was in addition to the traditional huge deficit with the United States. Bible Thought And as for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom.--Daniel 1:17. Unless God gives it, there would be no wisdom. We owe our minds to Him. We owe our thoughts to God's great mind. God will give wisdom to those who ask. Ja | ARGUMENTS FOR TV COMPETITION OTTAWA REPORT Macnab Descendants Recall Vivid History By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- There are Mac- nabs, of various spellings, and descendants of Macnabs all over Canada, How many of them trace their Canadian ancestry back 135 years, to the settlement of the Clan Macnab in the Town- ship of Macnab in the Ottawa Valley? A horpet's nest has just been stirred up among Macnabs in Britain, by an account of that event written for a British news- paper by John Stevenson, himself a Scot who became one of Ot- tawa's most erudite and experi enced journalists, "One of the most curious epi- sodes in the annals of British coloniz.®:2," he wrote, "was the attempt.of the thirteenth chief of the Clan Macnab to transplant his clan to Canada, and create here the style and prerogatives of a Highland Chief. Archibald Macnab, a tall, handsome, turbu- lent, dissipated man, had run through his inheritance, had got into severe trouble with the Scot- tish authorities, and had been 'put to the horn', the Scottish equivalent of outlawed. He turned to Canada as offering poesihilic ties for the restoration of his shattered fortunes." BIG LAND GRANTS A whole township of 80,000 acres in Upper Canada was set apart for seltlement under his direction, and named after him, The Macnab thought that al- though this Ottawa Valley land was hardly as hospitable even as a Highland Glen, in fact it was Just a woodelad wilderness, his cl would be happy to es- QUEEN'S PARK Passage Of Estimates Delayed By Opposition By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The house is full of rumors these days. One of them is that Premier Frost and the government are not too happy about the opposi- tion stand on estimates. Both Liberals and CCF mem- bers have been going intensively into each and every vote before them. Passage of estimates is there- fore taking about three times longer than usual. To meet this the premier has been calling night sittings. It is said-and this is the rumor- that he intends to *'platoon" his own members. He will keep enough in the house at night for a showing but others will have the night off. This would gradually tire the opposition and take away some of the eagerness for questioning. There certainly have been the night sittings. But Mr. Frost himself says this is not a departure. He believes in getting well into the work early so there will not be a mad last-minute rush, One thing, if he had any idea of winding up by the last of Merch he must have forgotten it. The house almost certainly will now continue to meet until mid. April. One incidental result of the changed character of the house this year is that the status of private members, particularly on the government side is being lowered even more The throne debate and the budget debate, the two main play-grounds of the private mem- bers, are becoming strictly inci- dental. The throne debate has not even wound up at time of writing, though only the last two speeches have to come, i k And not many government back - benchers were given a chance to speak in it. The budget debate has hardly got underway at all and it would appear that the number of speak- ers will also be cut down in it. DOWNSTAIRS Which is perhaps one reason why members have so much to say in committees this year. And member of a parliament feels he has to say SOMETHING. And many of them have been saying it in the down-stairs com- mittee rooms, In fact the definite trend would seem to be that in the parliamen- tary structure of the future the committee room will be more and more the most important forum for the private member. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Oshawa's tax rate for 1935 was fixed at 46 mills, the same as in 1934. Capt. W. J, Lock was elected | president of the Oshawa Retail Merchants' Association. Rex Harper, Murray Johnston and Sam Collis were the other offi- cers elected. Oshawa civic offices were moved to new quarters in the public utilities building. Wing Commander Douglas Joy, district inspector of civil avia- tion, visited Oshawa to seek a location for an airport. City council decided to co- operate with the Canadian Legion and Ontario Regiment in plans for celebrating the silver jubilee oy the coronation of King George Relief allowances were In- creased 10 percent by the Osh- awa Public Welfare Board. REPORT FROM U.K Membership Drop Bothers Unionists By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent for The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Trade Union mem. bership in the United Kingdom is declining at a rate which is disturbing to the more respons- ible leaders of the movement. They feel that in the past year or "two trade unionism has slumped in public acceptance and approval, largely as a result of fll-advised and unofficial strikes, This has had its effect on members. The official records show that FOR BETTER HEALTH How To Give First Aid To Victims Of Burns THE DANGER of suffering burns is an everyday hazard, especially for our children. I'm sure you try to do every- thing in your power to prevent such tragedies. You may be careful with your cigareties, you don't let youngsters play with matches and you are gen- erally conscious of the dangers of fire. Yet, to use a well-worn cliche, accidents do happen, In case one happens in your home, I'd like you to be prepar- ed to administer a few basic first aid measures. Your main concern until the doctor comes should be to re- lieve pain, prevent, contamination and infection and, in the case of serious burns, to counteract shock. The rest is up to the deetor, Fortunately, the vast majority of burns will be of a relatively minor nature. For those in which the skin remains unbroken, there is no danger of infection. Thus, you can concentrate your efforts on relieving the pain, There are many burn oint- ments on the market. Most of them, I suppose, are all right to use on burns. in which the skin is not broken. Or you can easily mix your own ointment by mak- ing a simple thin paste of baking soda, water and vaseline. Smear it over the burned area and then cover it with a clean handkerchief or gauze.This, in- cidentally, can also be used as a remedy to treat a bad case of sunburn. In cases in which the burn is more severe and the skin is bro. ken, send for a doctor at once. Make the victim lie down. Keep his head low ond don't allow him to become cold, This will help glleviate shock. Remove loose clothing from the injured area. Some of the ma- terial may be stuck to the skin. In this case, cut around it, but do not pull any clothing that may be clinging to the burned area. That is a job for the doctor. Chances are that you can sum- mon a doctor or an ambulance quickly. If for any reason medical help is not immediately available. you can cut some clean strips of linen and dip them into a mixture of warm water and Ep- som salts or baking scda. Make the solution by adding one cup of either the baking soda or the Epsom salts to one quart of water, Then gently place the wet strips on top of the burned area. You keep them moistened by adding more of the solution. Cover the strips with some warm dry ma- terial. Don't use absorbent cotton on a burned area and never--I re- peat, never -- apply tincture of iodine to a burn. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. G. H. M.: Please tell me what is the cause of angina pec- toris, its treatment and also if it is curable, How does nitroglycerin act and is it harmful if taken over a long period? Answer: Angina pectoris is a painfull condition of the chest, often brought on by exertion or excitement and usually thought to be caused by interference with the blood supply of the heart, Many cases are relieved by drugs or, in a severe case, op- eration, Nitroglycerin is not considered harmful when properly used. A case of angina pectoris needs regular medical care by the personal physician. . in the last 18 months, trade union membership has declined by something like 200,000 members. Sir Vincent Tewson, general sec- retary of the Trades Union Con- gress, finds this a matter for great concern, and is anxious to see if something can be done to halt the flight from the unions. TAKING ACTION In some areas of the country, something is being done about it. The Trades Council of Wands- worth, one of the London districts, has launched a drive to halt what it terms a "disastrous trend", It has set up a special organization to work out means of recruiting pew trade union members. Whistle-stop tours of factory gates are in progress. A list has been drawn up of places in Wands- worth where there is room for in- creased membership. Delegates from the Trades Council are visting these works and urging employees not in a union to join. Edward Humphries, secretary of the Wandsworth Trades Coun- cil, blames the flourishing economic conditions for the plight of the declining unions. "There seems to be a general feeling throughout the country that everything is nice and rosy," he says. "It is up to us to educate the young people and show them that it is in their own interest to join a union. We hope our lead will be followed by other trades councils, because a concerted national effort is needed to re- verse the trend in trades union membership." ANOTHER ANGLE From the National Union of Railwaymen comes ancther angle on union organization, Dainel Penman, East of Scotland dis- trict council secretary of the NUR, findg the present set-up at fault and says quite bluntly: "The time is long past when we can afford the luxury of sep- arate trade union organization. Let the lesson of the past few weeks be a realization that it is high time that negotiations took place between the three unions of railway employees, for a new railway trade union structure which will meet present-day re- quirements, That would end once and for all the unhappy position from which we have suffered so long in regard to railway wage negotiations." In spite of these activities and plans, it is difficult to see how the trade unions can win back the confidence of the public, which has been greatly shaken by the cumulative effect of events of the past year or two. cape from the Glen of Dochart in Scotland, and settle on their own homesteads here. His cousin the Laird of Arn- prior, a name since immonial- ized in the Ottawa Valley, acted as his agent. He signed up 24 heads of families; with their wives and children they made up 84 trusting souls, and this party landed in Canada in 1825. The Macnab allocated land to each family, on the basis that each would pay him 'an annual rental of one bushel of wheat or corn for each cleared acre of land. The poor Highlanders had no means of knowing that every PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Another danger in getting drunk is that a person in that condition is likely to say what he thinks. Taking into consideration that people have to put up with this implausible world and with one another, it's surprising they're be- having as well as they are. "That a man doesn't beat his wife shows that he loves her," says a novelist. To some extent, yes, but beating would give her more assurance, as substantiated by the fact that it is exceedingly rare that a woman deserts a man who beats her, It is estimated that 82 per cent of things advertised over TV are presented as "new and improved" on an average of three months. A real snob is one who asks "Who is Jack Paar?' --Kansas City Star, Virtually everybody knows the answer to that ques- tion, but a lot of us wish we knew the answer to this one: "Why is Jack Paar?" Overheard: "I don't recall your face, but the makeup looks fami. liar." precipitated outcries from Mae: nabs in Britain, There are cer # tainly many descendants still liv Pi British immigrant was entitled to a free grant of 100 acres. When the W. L. Mackenzie re- bellion broke out at Toronto in 1938, the Macnab wrote a flowery letler to the Governor: 4 ing between Ottawa and Pem- - ' broke, and elsewhere in Canada, ' who treasure anecdotes galore about this colorful albeit roguish : early settler, "The only Highland chieftain in | North America offers himself, his clan and the Macnab Highlanders to march forth in defence of their country, Their swords are a thousand, their hearts are but one." - REVOLT IN MACNABLAND But only 150 of the 1,000 swords- men answered the rallying ery; and of those no less than 90 signed a petition to the governor, stating that they would fight in defence of their new homeland under any leader -- except the Macnab. The upshot of reports about the chieflain's arrogant and un scemly behavior was an official enquiry; as a result his lands were confiscated, and he with- drew to Scotland. There his es- tranged wife loaned him a house in the Orkney Islands, and there he lived alone with his piper, Angus McInnis, until, so the story goes, a middle-aged Yorkshire- woman named Elizabeth Mar- shall joined him there. Tn his 80th year, she bore him a daugh- ter. Again he was hounded out of Scotland, and fled to France. There the man who first settled the western outskirts of our Na- tional Capital Area died, exactly 100 years ago. The recital of this story has 1015 5. ATLANTIC AVE.
