. £ Ae The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King 5t. E,, Oshows, Ont, Poge # Thirsdoy, December 22, 1969 Unity Doesn't Answer All Problems Of West Over simplification of issues leads in- evitably to over-simplification of solu- tions. The geat liberal Salvador de Madariaga seems to have fallen into this trap in a recent article in the Satur. dey Review. He begins with the argu- ment that a world community exists; since it exists, it must be governed. The question: By whom is it to be governed? He sees that question as the great challenge of our day, end answers it thus: "The Soviet Union sees the challenge, She answers it according to her creed, Bhe intends to organize the world com munity as a Soviet-controlled dictator. ship. This, up to a point, makes sense, And, because it makes sense, the Soviet Union is every day winning wider and wider sectors of world public opinion, Fortunately for us, the policy of the Soviet Union makes sense as to size (i.e, it is conceived on & world scale) but does not make sense as to quality, for it proceeds regardless of justice, free. dom and peace, Unfortunately, however, the West does not see the challenge, The West, in fact, does not exist as a unit... And so, divided among them- selves by greed ar mbition, they (the nations of the West) Tel the ship drift from rock to rock in the vain hope that some dey the Soviet Union may come to en agreement with them on how to divide the spoils" One cannot attack the proposition that a great deal more unity of purpose, policy and action is required of the west- ern nations -- and 8 gest deal less national greed and narrow pride, But the world, unfortunately perhaps, is not divided between the West and the Soviet empire, and it is not governed, as Senor de Madariaga 'suggests, by a world public opinion. There is a grest third force, comprising a majority of the people on earth, made up of nations which are largely illiterate and in which, therefore, public opinion can be manu =~ factured and swayed by the authorities in power; nations that are so politically immature as to lack even national, let alone international responsibility, One cannot consider the strengths and failings of the West or of the Boviet Union, except in this context, The world community exists only as it has always existed, as a conglomeration of peoples and states, It cannot become a commu- nity in the sense accepted by Senor de Madariaga until its parts first understand and then accept the rule of law. The debates in the United Nations reveal how slow that process can be The Hazards Of Winter Winter can be an exciting time for youngsters, but it also brings for them a new set of hazards, Sleighing, skiing, skating, all have their attendant dangers, and wise parents will take steps to help their children avoid these dangers, Perhaps the greatest danger is in going to and from these sports, The early darkness which descends so quickly catches many youngsters still dragging their sleigh home 'from their favorite hill, Parents who dress their children in dark clothes are adding to their danger, Bright clothes are best, but if your child is equipped with a dark coat invest a few cents in a colorful scarf or better still sew on some reflective tape or cloth, The Ontario Safety League offers these additional suggestions for the winter wise parent; Always teach your child to sleigh on a hill free of obstacles, and where the end of the run won't wind up on the street or road, For skating, encourage a supervised, approved rink where possible, If a frozen pond is used make sure it's tested cares fully by an adult first, Point out to chil. dren that the skate blade is -a sharp as a knife, and should be treated with the same respect, Make sure your child learns to ski properly, and conquers gentle slopes first, 8ki poles can be a help or a hazard, Be sure they are used properly, Wealth From Mining Ontario's mines minister James A. Maloney forecasts a total mineral pro- duction for the province this year of more than one billion dollars, an all- time record, Speaking in the legislature, he pointed out that in spite of the apparent decline in business generally during the last year, nearly all phases of the mining industry have shown con- tinuous growth, He said that about 75 per cent of the productivity of Ontario's mines is returned to the economy in taxes and in payments for wages, machinery, equipment and supplies, The industry directly employs about 60,000 people, and indirectly helps to support thousands more in secondary industries that pro- vide mining supplies, The minister quoted figures to show that more than one third of all Canada's exports are mineral products, with a total of $1,319,000,000, well ahead of forest and agricultural products, Tax revenues derived by the province directly from the industry in the year ending last March 31, Mr, Maloney said, totalled $14.25 million and that in the present year it was expected to ine Eye Oshawa Times T.

REPORT FROM U.K, Shortage Of Farm Labor Predicted By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) Corr dent to For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Although the gath- ering in of the 1961 harvest on the farms of Britain is still nine or 10 months away, already predic- tions are being 'made of a criti cal shortage of harvest workers, A government statistical report on the agricultural industry re- veals that in the last year 38,000 farm workers have left the land, to go to better-paid jobs in the towns and cities, This is nearly twice the normal yearly average of departures from the farms, Farmers are already devising various expedients to cope with the growing shortage of agricul: tural workers. Some, who have been left almost single-handed, INSIDE YOU Oxygen Necessary are taking advantage of the mi- gration to this country of large numbers of Italian workers, Oth ers are grouping together in eo- operatives to buy agricultural machinery to make up for the loss of lahorers CANNOT GO ON A spokesman for the National Union of Agricultural Workers, discussing this situation, said quite frankly: "It looks as if 1961 is going to be a crisis year, Machines cannot go on for ever replacing man, In some areas, there is going to he great difficulty in gathering in the harvest next year," The most serious aspect ahout the loss of farm labor is that it is SIH x ------ not the easual workers who are leaving, but the. regularly em- ployed men, These are the skilled agriculturalists to whom the farmer can leave much of the day-tb-day responsibility of operating the farm, DANGER POINT REACHED In this category of skilled farm workers, some 20,000 have given up their farm jobs and gone to other employment in the past year, The danger point has heen reached in this trend, which has cut the supply of experienced farm labor by 26 per cent in the last 10 years While the erisis will make next year's harvesting operations dif- ficult, it is pot expected to hring any immediately-felt shortage supplies of farm products, But hedging, ditching and other types of important maintenance work will have to be left undone or ne- glected, UNION REMEDY The National Union of Agricul: tural Workers says the remedy for this flight from the farms is four-fold, Its four items are: A higher minimum wage; shorter working week; hetter 1 overtime rates and higher pay for To Active Brain By BURTON H, FERN, MD Plain mountain folk may help turn on the faucet at the fountain of youth, With their ragged bodies struggling for a rugged existence, these hillbilly Ponce de Leons may supply space scientists with down-to-earth clues about age-old problems while at the same time getting research about old age off the ground, When your age starts to soar to stratospheric heights, you encoun. ter the same problems as strato spheric flyers, To keep ahead of the game, your brain has to be continually bathed with life-giving oxygen, Both old age and high al- titude can pull the plug on this chemical bathtub, draining men. tality and changing personality, STOP WORKING Brain cells just don't feel right without their dally oxygen bath, They stop working, In less time than it takes to shower and dress, the oxygens lacking brain cells shrink, never to work again, Soon other nerve cells shut down for good and there's no hope, Collective har. gaining just doesn't work in the nervous system, NOT THE SAME You won't notice the change as you ereep up a small mountain or en up on old age, but you're definitely not the same, Olympic athletes found this out when Intemational games were held in the crisp cool mountain air, Sea-level sprinters and high. Jumpers found they ran slower and jumped lower, As you climb higher up the mountain or age-scale you may feel giddy and light-headed and you can't seem to remember things. Your muscles slow down and a corkscrew gait turns walks hi, * straight line into a major task. CAN'T CONCENTRATE When oxygen-lacking hrain cells stop working, you find it hard to concentrate even if you're interested -- and so you soon lose interest, As your senses slow down, you become slow on the uptake, Yet you don't recognize these changes, perfiaps because you forget what you've forgotten, The average college student shows a better y than his than water when you live high above sea level, The mountain llama feeds her unborn offspring through an afters birth twice the size needed down in the valley, HUNTING CAUSES Doctors ave now hunting for other changes which explain why mountain folk make out as well as their sea-going cousins, They're also trying to figure out exactly why age and altitude lead to the same trouble, You and Yours can see (hat they're liable to pull the answers out of thin air!

"It 1s wondered if a candidate who tells his opponent after the election that he's sorry for hav. ing said some disparaging things about him isn't serrvier that he didn't have more to he sorry for, The late Clark Gable said that death was as natural as life, Well, yes and as far as anybody knows for sure, it may he just as much fun after one bhecor .es ae. eustomed to it, READERS' VIEWS Farm Animals - Shelter Urged H | ES i aR * By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA~--Big John and Little John should gel together at once, to propose the formation of a huge Atlantic trading area of half # billion prosperous people, "Un less this is achieved, the top will be blown off our economy." This was the gist of the most important speech yet delivered in his session of Parliament; a speech made by one of the most distinguished, most experienced, and most far-sighted of our elder tatesmen; a speech setting out a vision more important to our jobs and our standard of living and our national security even then the widely-heralded and justly - applauded Hees export plan, But alas a speech delivered to empty galleries in our Senale, which at this writing I have not seen mentioned In any Rews- paper, Yet it was, by any standard and in the opinion of many wise listeners, the most promising blueprint for Canadian prosper: ity vet advanced in this emer: gency job-crealing session of Parliament WISE MAN FROM EAST The speaker was Nova Scotia's Senator Wishart Robertson, a minister in the former Liberal government The senator described how, 12 years ago, the North Atlantie allies, by treaty endorsed hy each Parliament, - undertook (0 initiate economic eo - operation within the alliance, He described how, five years ago, a SMA group of Canadian parliamentar: fans organized thelr fellows from other allied nations, to urge their governments to live up to that neglected obligation Hon, Wishart Robertson 6ex- plained that, while he headed that group, its vice-president was John . Diefenbaker, and other members included the former Conservative trade minister Gore don Churehill, CCFer Allstate Stewart, Liberal Elmore Phils pott, Boeial Crediter Vietor Queleh and others--truly & Eroum of parliamentarians as able and dedicated as it was representa: e, os the first meeting of parlia- mentarians of the North Atlantie allies, convened by that Canadian group, John Diefenbaker, speak: ing "in his usual sloquent and fer lieltous manner," advocated the elimination of international trade rivalries with the alliance, said Senator Robertson, 'John Dief- enhaker urged, in the most elo- quent. terms, the necessity for economic eo - operation, saying that it was the baekhane of what e were undertaking." Vt the governments still did not act TH OF THE SIX Bally six members of NATO, "tired of the procrastination of the Anglo-Saxon countries (Can ada, Britain and U8.A.( went ahead on thelr own and did exactly what we were ambitious for all the 16 nations to do," sal the Senator, They set up the Common Market known as The Inner Six, and progressively re. duced tariffs among themselves, BY-GONE DAYS Bill Demonstrates Premier's Control By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Liberals won one victory at the session, at least, After Joe Gould of Bracondale put 'up his fight on the Liquor Control Act amendment the gov. ernment changed the hill, It altered the debatable clause 80 that a drunk could be sent to Jail only on a third offence, WHAT MORALITY? But then the party didn't look 50 good--of course as a party it didn't look good in the first place, It still tried to block passage of the bill This was not on the question of the change, which was satisfae- tory to everyone, But, as expressed by leader John Wintermeyer, on a question of "morality." For more than three hours on two days argument went back and forth, And just what was meant by "morality" in this case never did by clear, fifty or sixty-year-old professors But taking the sea-level student up to 10,000 feet drops his mem. ary tést score about 15 per cent so that now he only matches his sea- level professor, Altitude has made up for age! EXTRA CELLS Over the years mountain resi dents learn to live in thin air, Extra red bhiood cells help them every ounce of oxygen avail: . Blood is certainly thicker MANY SPEAKERS To be fair ta Mr. Wintermeyer and his followers, a lot of the time was taken up hy speakers who now--seeing as the bill was being well-publicized--wanted to put themselves on the record as being against sin and for every thing good, However on the over-all argu- ment the Grits did not show up too well, And in the end they bowed. Though Mr. Wintermeyer did win a promise from Premier Frost that the "maral" question would be looked into at the winter sitting, HE RULES In this debate it was demons strated just how firmly Mr, Frost controls his party and the house, In discussing the amendment the premier noted that Mr, Gould had tried, unsuccessfully to have the bill changed at Legal Bills Committee, Then, he noted, the Liberal member had carvied his fight to the floor of the house. And, he said, he had been impressed with his arguments, And that was all needed Attorney-General Roberts, of course, was at the commitlee and at first opposed Mr, Gould on the main floor, And other supporters of the government ridiculed the Liberal, But when Mr, Frost indicated his approval there was a direct change, The ruler had spoken. And now his men could see the wisdom which he spoke Of course it is right that things should be this way, If there is to be good government a leader must "lead" And there is no question that the premier does have the most balanced head in the House, that was M0 YEARS AGO Over 500 families were listed as being in need of Christmas Cheer assistance, George ©, Allchin, Oshawa business man, bought the former Bank of Montreal building at the corner of Simcoe and Bond streets, Roy Martin, Mary Aldred and Norman Suman, students of Cen. tre St. Public School, won prizes for the Ontario Safety League drawing contest on accidents and accident prevention, Oshawa poultry and pet stock show was opened, with a large display of exhibits, Hon, P.
