The Oshawa Times | Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St Wednesday, June 8, 1960 Pose 6 Show Of Force C E., Oshawd, Ont. ould Be Needed In SEATO Area United States military aircraft were conducting an "exercise" in Southeast Asia this week. That was the polite name for it, but there was tacit recogni- tion that it was in reality a show of 'force. Whether such a show was ne- cessary or even timely can be argued; clearly the United States thinks so. And considering the events of the past few weeks, it would not be surprising if the Chinese Communists contrived to stir up more trouble in that general area. First of all there was the meeting of SEATO, the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization. This is largely the creature of the United States, and has little real substance. Only two members, Thailand and the Philippines, are Southeast Asian nations, and only other member, Pakis tan, is even in Asia. The remaining mem bers, beside the United States, are the United Kingdom, France, Australia and New Zealand. It is a vague organization. The idea was to make it an Asian counterpart of NATO, but potential members lacked the sense of urgency that brought the North Atlantic alliance into being. When India rejected it, other smaller Asian nations who did not wish to be committed 'Lack Of Man has developed: the technology of communications to a point that some- times tests credibility.

The conduct at the wheel remains one of our parently impenetrable mysteries. Traffic hazards would become almost negligible if communications were per- fect--if every driver knew what every other driver was going to do. But until we all become skilled in mental tele- pathy. we must get along with the available means of communicating ne- to other conscientiously, cessary information drivers. Indeed, these means are fairly adequate: there is some used sort of sign for every intention. The trouble is that they are all too often ignored or used improperly or made doubly dangerous by a driver's change of mind at the last moment The Ontario Safety League points out that a driver who fails to give proper information to others is not only dis- courteous but increases the likelihood of disaster to himself. Uniform Safety Rules Most municipalities have some sort of safety regulations in the construction of bridges or steel structures for the protection of those working on these projects, and for the of those who use them. But the regula- tions vary, For that reason the Building Trades Protection Act should be tightened to provide uniform safety inspection regu- lations throughout Ontario, the Guelph Mercury points out. A Royal Com- mission now sitting on the question of industrial safety has been told that there is nothing specific in the Act re- quiring safety during the construction of bridges or steel struc- tures. Ontario safety codes were criticized this year with the death of five Italian immigrant workers who suffocated after the collapse of a tunnel projects at Hogg's Hollow in North York.

That is a long way down in case and what hope is there' of getting the workman out alive if fellow workers have to dig up to 20 feet of earth away before they find their fellow employee. William Cole, a trench inspector in York Township, believes that a worker should be prohibited from working alone in an excavation lower of a cave-in than six feet There is little doubt that many of the safety regulations as they now stand are ignored by some contractors to cut costs and through incompetent foremen. Even when the existing safety regula- tions are ignored the penalty in our courts seems very lenient, as the Royal told that the fines sometimes amount to only $10 or $15 Charles G. Gibson, director of tech- nical services for the Department of Labor, believes that there should be a general penalty for any breach of safety regulations and the Building Trades should be made more specific for on-the-job safety inspection.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent for The Oshawa Times LONDON With prospects of a record influx of visitors from the United States to Britain, there is one group of Britis: profes- sional men who are looking for- ward to having a busy summer These are the professional gene QUEEN'S PARK alogists, who find that American tourists are anxious to disprove the dictum of Tennyson that 'simple faith is more than Nor- man blood."

The review, to start in the early fall, will take a year This is reassuring for a num- ber of reasons One of them is that most of the newer companies are still oper ating on temporary rates Another is that with the older companies, there has not been an intensive examination of rates at all in some cases and no recent one in any of them Again there inquestionably some public concern about the amounts being charged in certain areas. A good review with public hearings should do much to clear the air here And finally it shows that in fu- ture our gas officials are not going to knuckle under to the companies, something they have been suspected of in the past DIZZY DIVORCE Everything happens here these ays. Now it is the case of co-respondent. The attorney-general is investi- gating the incident in which the CBC ran an interview with a pro- fessional divorce co-respondent Mr. Roberts and senior mem- bers of his staff spent part of an afternoon watching a film of the show They much the cosy evidently enjoyed it as as the original audience though appearing properly and publicly grave when there was mention of the legal profession The most ridiculous aspect of this whole business, of course, was the shocked reaction of some prominent lawyers to the fact there might be members of their profession using professional co respondents. a PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM If there is one lawyer in On- tario who doesn't know this prac- tice has been going on for years then that man makes Rip Van Winkle look like'a cat-napper In fact the whole business of divorce today is so ridiculous it invites the greatest mockery of law in our society Perhaps it shouldn't he "law" at all, but should be handled. by the churches For the rules at present will hardly ever be changed with it being the politicai untouchable that it is OPP TRAGEDY And speaking of law it is al- most tragic to see Provincial Po- lice officers charged with corrup- tion There are few forces in the world that have the record and the respect of the OPP Never before has one of its men been charged with anything of its nature (though there has been the occasional case of misconduct) One reassurance is that the force is strong enough to survive minor black-eyes without any permanent injury. B years. a greal increase in the number of Americans visiting its offices in Kensington, anxious to trace their British antecedents. QUITE PROFITABLE Tracing drops of Norman blood in North American veins is one of the profitable adjuncts of the tourist industry, for those who have the skill and knowledge to do it. Fees can range from 300 guineas (oer $1000) for a pedi- gree reaching back six or seven generations, to several thousand pounds for linking the inquirer with Hereward the Wake or Wil- liam the. Conqueror Mr. Phillips said he was quite surprised at the level to which the fees for tracing the genealogy of a family can rise. But J. P. B, Brooke-Little, Bluemantle Pursui- vant of Arms, was not at all sur- prised ! He is a practising genealogist "A difficylt piece of research can take a long time and cost a great deal," he said AMERICANS PAY WELL Another practising genealogist, Major Vivian Ottley-Ward-Jack- son, thought the fee-of 300 guineas quite reasonable. The. bulk of his practice is with American visitors, and they are quite pre- pared to pay well for the exten- sive research. "They realize that the funda- mental thing in life is tradition," said Major Ottley - Ward - Jack- son. 'I always made it abundant- ly clear that their hearts and roots are deeply embedded here." The popularity of ancestor- hunting among Amrican tourists seems to be largely due to the British Travel and Holidays As- sociation, Some years ago, it stressed this as one of Britain's most ' romantic attractions. It pointed out that a good pedigree is one way of ensuring that the Joneses do not keep up with you even if they do have a swimming pool. It has been noted that the pedigree-seekers included some impecunious Americans whose marriage prospects were improv- ed by the possession of ancient roots One thing from which everyone can take comfort, no matter how plebian their name, is that some- where about 'the year 1400 the emultiplication of one's ancestors becomes a rather more than the total population at that time. So most people should have a noble forebear somewhere. FOR BETTER HEALTH ~ Use Of Suntan Lotions May Be Too Effective HERMAN N. BUNDESE,N MD Are sun tan lotions any good?

Exceptions are redheads and blondes, who probably will burn more easily because of their fai kin.

OTTAWA REPORT 'Don't Knows' Worry Political Pollsters By PATRICK NICHOLSON An unhappy newetrend in voter reaction to politics is showing up in the polls of public opinion. This chart of the political tem- perature of Canadians is watched very closely here, and Ottawa's expert observers have been quick to spot this new trend, although its significance would escape most newspaper readers. The latest poll shows that, in answer to the question *'Which political party would you favor if an election were held today "48 per cent of those with definite opinions support the Tories and 37 per cent support the Liberals. Thus the Tories have main- tained their pre-eminence over the Liberals steadily during the past nine months. In that same period, a slight loss suffered by the CCF has been picked up by the Socreds. At this level of popular support the Tories have lost a substantial portion of the 60 per cent sup- port they received in a poll four months after the 1958 election; and they are measurably down from the 54 per cent they polled in that election. The Liberals have picked up encou -agingly from their low ebb of 29 per cent sup- port IS THAT THE WHOLE in reply to that polisters' ques- tion, a staggeringly high 29 per cent of all Canadians said that thev hold no opinion favoring one over the others at this time / Tt "undecided" figure is un usually and disturbingly high. In the 1958 election, 19 in each 100 registered voters did not trouble to record their vote, which was a better turnout than for many electioné past. In the mid- holiday election called by Mr. St. Laurent in the summer of 1953, 32 per cent of the voters did not use their ballot. But a more nor- mal elections, the "don't-vote" proportion has run around one in four: and in opinion polls the "'don't-know"' figure has normally run at less than one-fifth. Hence the present peak of 29 per cent "'don't-knows" is a mat- ter - causing some conjecture to politicians. Indeed it should cause concern to all Canadians who want our democratic system- of elected government to reflect the popular wish BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Oshawa obtained an enviable record of 80 to 90 percent im- munization from communicable diseases.

IF WE VOTED TODAY garnering more popular support This trend is too small yet to cause the overthrow of the Con-* gervative Government; it is just enough to constitute a spur pricked into their flanks--unless they are too thick-skinned to no- tice a spur which is undoubtedly. a red flag of warning also Projecting these figures onto § the national scale, we thus see that of every 100 Canadians, 34 @ would today vote Tory, 29 don't know how they would vote, 26 would "vote Liberal, seven would vote CCF, and four would vote Socred. | Thus the undecided voters are numerous enough to swing the election." Not only could they en- sure a Tory victory or cause a Liberal upset. They could even elect Canada's first socialist gov ernment at Ottawa, if they plumped for the CCF. The increase in disinterested- ness, which we may equate with non-voting, has come almost en- tirely from the support which the Tories enjoyed in 1958. Figures show this, and it is what would be expected by the nature of politi- cal reaction. However, the total Tory vote has increased in each post-war election: from 1,455,453 in 1945, it rose slightly in 1949 and ain in 1953, it jumped in 1957 and it soared to 3,911,195 in 1958. At the same time, the total Liberal vote slumped steadily from 2 391 in 1949 to 2,456,116 in 1958, despite a soaring electorate. Do these two party curves represent a trend likely to continue into the future? Or was 1958 a tiefng point, al- ready reflected in public opinion polls?
