Fhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 6 Tuesday, July 19, 1960 Young Men Have Achieved Greatness Not long ago Senator John Kennedy gave an effective reply to former Presi- dent Truman's contention that the senator was hardly of the maturity re- quired of the nation's chief executive. Senator Kennedy was able to make his rejoinder without reference to a recent paper in the John Hopkins Uni- versity Bulletin which declared that most of the important discoveries which bring about the revolutionary advances in science are made by men under 35, says The Cornwall Standard-Freeholder. Asserting that young men are the ones who have to take giant strides on which human advancement is made, the paper referred to history to prove that a man's early years are his'most signifi- cant, that older men are too careful, cautious and clannish. Hippocrates, the Greek youth often called the father of modern medicine, brought the medical world out of an age of superstition and abracadabra. He defied the priest-doctors, who believed that disease was the result of the patient having offended a god. Hippocrates was the first to state that illness was due to worldly causes. He and his young col- leagues established the principles of careful diagnosis, experimental therapy and prognosis. They were the first to prove that diseases developed into wide- spread epidemics. Copernicus was still in his twenties when he upset firmly entrenched as- tronomical beliefs and replaced our earth with sun as the centre of the universe, For this daring statement he was called heretic, pagan and godless. Many of his followers were burned at the stake. Advancing age did not change his conviction, but made him timid and fearful of full publication of his ideas. Vesalius, 16th century Flemish anatomist, was not yet 20 when he arrogantly disputed the anatomical teachings of Galen, whose word had been gospel for more than 1,300 years. Vesalius persisted, and was made a full professor of anatomy at 23. When only 29 he published his anatomy of the human being, which gave impetus to scientific medicine, Harvey, young English doctor, had just passed his thirtieth year when he published his revoluntiary theory of circulation of the blood and brought down a storm of invective on his head. The temperamental Sir Isaac New- ton defined his laws of gravity and motion, upset established theories of light and invented calculus before he was 25. To be sure he made mistakes, later corrected, but much of today's science is based on the extension of bold theories proposed by Newton in the 17th century. Closer to our own times, the German genius, Albert Einstein, a theoretical physicist, was only 25 when he evolved his theories of general and special re- lativity and added to the quantum theory. A recent scholarly survey of scien- tific history up to the present uncovers the fact that 95% of great scientific discoveries were and are still being made by scientists before they reach 35. After that age there is a sharp drop in original contributions.: Naturally, the question is why? The answer seems to be that young men have the necessary dynamic creative mental and physical energy. They have not yet become conventional in their thinking, nor do they care so much what their scientific colleagues think. So they dare to be different and question estab- lished beliefs. A famous educator once said, "Only the young can afford to swim against the stream." Older men with prestige and stature are not so quick to jeopardize their positions. Lest it appear that we should dis- pense with services of men over 35, we hasten to say that these men continue to make valuable contributions. Often these contributions are based on an extension of vital discoveries they made as young men. Also, older men have a maturity and judgment necessary for a balanced development of science. They also have the experience needed to train younger men who do and will continue to break the scientific barriers of to- morrow. Youth and age working to- gether form an unbeatable partnership, Nvye's Successor While the decision as to who will succeed Nye Bevan as deputy-leader of the British Labor party will not be made until after the party conference is held, possibly in November, there is already speculation as to who will take over his spot. Whoever it is will have difficulty in producing the same blend as did Hugh Gaitskell and Aneurin Bevan, the blend of an intellectual So- cialist with a hard-boiled and dynamic trades union leader. In the forefront of the names being mentioned for the deputy's post are those of Harold Wilson, 44, shadow chancellor of the exchequer, and George Brown, 45, shadow defence minister. The acceptance by Alfred Robens of the chairmanship of the National Coal Board leaves these two prospects away out in front of any others. Mr. Wilson has' already depu- tized very capably for Mr. Gaitskell in the House of Commons and last Novem- ber he topped the poll in the election of the shadow cabinet. It is doubtful, however, whether Mr. Wilson can command the strong sup- port of the trade union group of the parliamentary party. It is nearly 100 The Oshavon Times T. L.

On the other hand, Mr. Brown is chairman of the trade union group, and would expect to receive its general support. His first-rate performance as critic of the government's defence policy has helped him gain a new popu- larity. Generally speaking, however, he suffers a handicap in that his views are too far to the right to please the more radical Socialist element. Others who must be considered in the reckoning are James Callaghan, 48, the shadow colonial secretary. He has outstanding debating ability, and he alone of the Labor front bench has any- thing of Beyan"s vitriolic flair. His stature has risen in recent weeks in the debates on African problems. The name of Sir Frank Soskice, 57, former Labor attorney-general, is also being mentioned as a possible nominee, but he is handicapped in being far too much like Mr. Gaitskell in his political approach. There seems to be a desire to select somebody less like Mr. Gait- skell, someone who would be able to understand and represent trade union- ist and other currents of opinion. The only other names heard men- tioned have been those of Richard Crossman, due to be the next chairman of the party, and Gordon Walker, an- other member of the shadow cabinet, who held office under Prime Minister Attlee. These two, however, lack the big guns to make much running against the other four prospects mentioned.

AR MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GoD! GALLUP POLL Poll Predicts Democrat Win PRINCETON, N.J:, July 16 -- If the candidate selected this week by the Democratic conven- tion could pull his party's vote at full strength in the November election, the result would be a landslide of the character of the Roosevelt victories in the early thirties and of Eisenhower in 1956. This is indicated in the Gallup Poll's latest test of basic party strength as reflected in the pref- erences of voters today in the races for Congress. With the elections only four months away, 60 per cent of voters nationwide say they would like to see the Democrats win in the House races, while 40 per cent prefer the Republicans. If the Democratic presidential nominee could capture the indi- cated Democratic vote for Con- gress, it would match Roosevelt's 1932 victory when he won over Herbert Hoover with 59.1 per cent of the major-party vote and would just fall short of the Roose- velt 1936 figure of 62.5 per cent, Experience has shown that one of the most reliable indicators of basic party strength in the mna- tion is the electorate's pref- erences in the races for Congress. Gallup Poll reporters in the latest test asked this question of voters in every section of the country: Vote for President Eisenhower 57.8% Eisenhower 55.4 Truman 54.7 Roosevelt 53.8 Roosevelt 55.0 Roosevelt 62.5 Roosevelt 59.1 Hoover 58.8 Year "If the elections for Congress were being held today, which party would you like to see win in this state -- the Republican Party or the Democratic Party?' VOTE FOR CONGRESS (Nationwide) Pet. Democratic party 60 Republican party Today's figure shows no change since a May report when GOP Congressional fortunes sank to an all-time low point. History shows that a winning Presidential candidate normally can be expected to run ahead of his party. Eisenhower, in 1956, surpassed the vote for GOP Congressional candidates by a margin of 9.0 percentage points when he polled 57.8 per cent of the major-party vote for President compared to 48.8 per cent for GOP Congres- sional candidates. In the big New Deal year of 1936, Roosevelt ran ahead of his party by 4.0 percentage points, FDR won with 62.5 per cent while Democratic Congressional candi- dates nationwide polled 58.5 per cent. . ; Following is a comparison of the vote for the winning Presi- dential candidate and the vote for his party in the races for Con- gress since 1928: Party's Vote For Congress Difference 48.8% +90 - © ® SEBBRG FN EE CRN] "FOR BETTER HEALTH Do You Drive Your Car With Half Your Brain? HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD DO YOU drive with two hands but only half a brain? An insurance company looked into some statistics concerning our appalling number of traffic accidents, and said you do.

Perhaps you are among the other ten per cent, but I kind of doubt that. HALF OF INTELLIGENCE I think just about all of us are guilty, some time or other, of operating about 4000 lethal pounds of motor vehicle with only half of our intelligence ac- tually applied to our driving. For example, if you are a man, approximately half of your intelli gence usually is devoted to driv- ing while the other half is occu- pied with: Talking.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times DOUGLAS, Isle of Man -- Ca- nadians -- and there are many of them who visit this lovely holiday resort on a small island in the Irish Sea -- are in future going to have an added problem in currency exchange. The Isle of Man has its own government, and announcement has made that it now proposes to is- sue its own currency notes. These will be backed by adequate secur- ity with sufficient cash on short call to redeem the whole of the new notes which will be put into circulation. The announcement was made by Sir Ronald Garvey, governor of the island, in his first budget speech in the Tynwald Court, the governing body. He said that when he took over the office of governor he was s! to find that the Manx government did not issue its own currency notes. USE ENGLISH POUNDS Up to the present, the cur- been rency for day to day business, and for general use by visitors to the island, was provided by Bank of England notes, the same as in the other United Kingdom countries. In addition, the five banks on the island, under li- cence from the Governor, issued OTTAWA REPORT their own notes to a restricted value, and against security de- posited with the government. Making his annouacgment, Sir Ronald said: "I appreciate that this privilege has existed for a long time, and that the banks attach much pres- tige value to it. Nevertheless, I have decided that in future the Isle of Man government should in future provide this service. A bili to make the necessary legis- lative provision, including the making of the notes legal tender, will be introduced in the legis- lature." When this measure becomes effective, it will then be neces- sary for tourists visiting the is- land to exchange their pound notes and travellers' cheques into the new Isle of Man currency. ISLAND PROSPERING In his budget speech, Sir Ron- ald Garvey also gave evidence of the prosperity of the island's economy. He said that although the island was faced with a rec. ord expenditure of four million pounds this year, he had found it possible to meet that sum with. out increasing taxation. Surtax on income tax was being abol- ished, and that, he said, was a . calculated risk well worth taking. Hazen Argue Tops Leading CCF Ranks By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA (CP)--When the Co- Operative Commonwealth Feder ation meets in National Conven- tion at Regina on August 9th, our third largest political party will select a mew national leader. The present leader is M. J. Coldwell, the wise and respected statesman from Saskatchewan, who sat in Parliament for 23 years, and was leader of the CCF for the last 18. He war defeated in the 1958 election, knocked off by the Diefenbaker sweep by a margin smaller than any of his previous six victory majorities. The 69-year-old leader wanted to retire from active politics then, but was persuaded to retain the party leadership nntil the next hi, ial conv tion BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO First Aid and Home Nursing classes sponsored by the Ladies' Auxiliary Canadian Legion for Oshawa women, began its first meeting in the Legion Hall A total of 643 recruits were signed for the Ontario Regiment Second Battalion. Over 800 men were required for the unit. A number of Kinsmén joined, in- cluding past presidents, Walter prac and Alderman W. H. Gif- ord. Col. Frank Chappell, registrar for the electoral district of On- tario, announced that the former YMCA building in Oshawa would be used as headquarters for the registration. "Paddy" F. Anten, well known Oshawa airman, was promoted to the position of Chief Flying In- structor at No. 1 Elementary RCAF Flying Training School; Malton. Six giant steel roof trusses al- most 45 feet long and weighing over 20 tons, arrived in Oshawa for the GMC proposed new build- ing on Djvision St. The total number of unemploy- ed persons on relief was cut by two thirds to 1148 compared with 3436 persons in 1939.

Quebec Prize Career High For Artist PARIS (CP). -- Artist Pierre Boudreau says one of the high- lights of his career was winning an art contest in competition with some of his former instructors. "Winning the Quebec govern- ment's grand prize for painting was wonderful and it was all the more so because some 'of my for- mer teachers were competitors." A native of Quebec city, now well-established in Paris, Bou- dreau is a graduate of l'ecole des Beaux Arts in Quebec. He graduated in 1946 after interrupt- ing his studies in 1943 to serve with the Canadian army over- seas. He came to Paris in 1947 and two years later won a grant from the Moroccan government which enabled him to paint in Casablanca, Marrakesh and Safi. On his return to Paris in 1950, some of his works were placed on exhibition and a few sales were made. WORKED IN OTTAWA He returned to Canada in 1951 and shortly after was named as- sistant director of the National Gallery in Ottawa. He arranged exhibitions of Canadian paintings and also gave art courses to children. He found that he be- came so alfsorbed in his work that he was neglecting his painting. In 1953 he decided to quit and re- turn to France. Since 1957 he has made it a point to return to Montreal annu- 4 Next month that moment will arrive, so Ottawa is speculating who will succeed him. LEADER FOR A YEAR This throne is regarded here as comparable to a "chaise longue" on the crest of a volcano. Be- cause next year the "New Party" is scheduled to be born, absorb- ing the CCF in the process, and automatically replacing the post as leader of the CCF by a new and larger generalship. The unanimous choice of -the convention as leader would be Tommy Douglas, longtime CCF premier of Saskatchewan. But it is thought here that he will not be a candidate this year, al- though he could and perhaps should emerge as the leader of the new party next year. Stanley Knowles, former CCF MP and now $13,000 a year ex- ecutive vice president of the Ca- padian Labor Congress, and mid- wife of the new party, might of- fer himself for the leadership. But many true CCFers, already unhappy about the shotgun wed- diug of their beloved old dream- with organized labor to form new party, would recoil in horror from a leader who is also on the payroll of labor unions. sence of Tommy Douglas as a leadership candidate, one told me. His choice as national leader would take some of the curse off the pt of a regi ted la- bor party with a political check- off of union dues and other un- desirable features. From the par- liamentary point of view, his selection would regularize his present position as '"House leader" of the CCF, with an off- stage general over him. The cachet was placed on his performance by the recent resol- ution of the CCF association in the district which he represents federally, and Tommy Douglas represents provincially, express- ing "appreciation of the able This would mean a revenue loss of 35,000 pounds for the year, which could be made good by a determined attack on the arrears of income tax.

(Special)--For the first time science has found a new healing substance with the ability to shrink hemorrhoids and to relieve pain and itching. Thousands have been relieved with this inexpensive substance right in the privacy of their own home without any discomfort or inconvenience. In one hemorrhoid case after another, "very striking improve- ment" was reported and verified by doctors' observations, Pain was promptly relieved. And 'while gently relieving pain, actual reduction or retraction (shrinking) took place. . And most amazing of al this pr was cases where doctors' observations were continued over a period of many months! In fact, results were so thorough that sufferers were able to make such statements as "Piles have ceased to be a problem!" And among these sufferers were a very wide variety of hemorrhoid cons ditions, some of even 10 to 20 years' standing, a mak cotics, anesthetics or any kind.

PRAISED AS LEADER In Ottawa, Hazen Argue is liked and respected; he gives able and notably industrious lead- ership to his group. He is essenti- all; a Prairie progressive rather than a doctrinaire socialist, in di- rect descent from the farmers' protest parties which provided the nursery for the CCF as it has been at its best.
