A " " a The Dshavon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Monday, May 8, 1961 Europeans Would Like Clear Policy What kind. of European policy would Europeans themselves most like to see the United States adopt? First, Europeans say, a clear policy. For there is uncertainty in Europe to- day as to quite what resolution of the Six and Eight problem the United States would prefer. A decision needs to be made. Were it not made West- ern Europe could drift on into very dangerous waters, The Christian Sci- ence Monitor asserts. Second, Europeans indicate a de- sire for an American policy steadily aimed at European unity. They hope American influence will not be used to weaken the political concept of the European Common Market. Third, there is a desire that Ameri- can policy will benefit all the mem- bers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and injure none. Thus it does not meet the case to urge Great Britain to join the Six and to leave it at that, for this would not solve the problem for one half of the peoples of Western Europe who would be outside the new union. To say, well, Britain should offer to join on condition that the other members of the Eight are then al- lowed associate membership is attrac- tive. Yet it has elements of danger. For demanding such a condition could appear to be a new effort to weaken the Common Market by stretching its On Unity political ties and watering down its idealism, The Monitor argues. A rather similar objection also can be raised to Britain proposing the con- dition that Canada should not be in- Jjured through Britain's acceptance of a common tariff on overseas goods but should be allowed a gate through. There appear now to be but two principal ways in which Western Europe can be successfully reunited. The Common Market could itself of- fer to Britain and to the other Euro pean nations the exceptions or condi- tions they would require as members or associates but cannot or dare not demand. Or the two existing free trade groups could merge economic- ally; each could retain its political integrity; Canada and other Com- monwealth countries then need lose none of the advantages they have in Britain. Perhaps for the first time it looks as if either solution would be accept- able to Europe, including Britain. But there is a deadlock in Europe. It is true the argument is not about whether to unite Europe but how to do it. Yet if it is not resolved there will be no unity. And it is unlikely that it can be resolved until the Unit- ed states makes its own position clear. The best solution of all, of course, would be to transfer NATO into an economic rather than a military al- liance. 'Emergency' Criticized The seventh conference of the Can- adian Highway Safety Council in Montreal listened to severe criticism of what is known as the "emergency brake" on motor vehicles. Police and automotive authorities told the dele- gates that such devices are better classified as parking brakes because their dependability in stopping a veh. icle in an emergency is questionable. Motorists do not have to be told that they experience much more diffi- culty with emergency brakes than with regular brakes. They are const- antly in need of attention even though they are used more often for park- ing purposes than for emergency stops. Usually the brake is not found to be defective until it fails to hold the vehicle when parked. And how many motor vehicle drivers have had the embarrassing experience of for- getting to release the emergency brake before driving away? The Sud- bury Star asks. Among the recommendations put Uranium To The new Northern Ontario com- munity of Elliot Lake is now trying to stage a comeback. It has been down since the bottom fell out of the market for uranium produced in its neighborhood mines. Elliot Lake pop- ped up almost overnight and soon de- veloped subdivisions of new homes, a business section containing super- markets, hotels, and theatres, before the blow was struck, when the de- mand for uranium from the area al- most stopped. Then the slump came almost overnight. Now with the realization that the The Oshawa Simes 7. L WILSON, Publisher end Geners! Menaoger €.

The traffic conference was told that this secondary braking system could be introduced at a cost of be- tween $5 and $10. Conference delegates were also told of the danger of using brake fluid that did not meet recognized stand- ards. The automotive safety engineer with an automobile company said in- ferior fluid vaporizes and makes the brakes useless. He recommended use of the higher-priced fluid that met standards for safety. Study of reports from the highway safety conference show the delegates getting down to earth in matters that are of the greatest importance to every motor vehicle driver. Practical knowledge on the safe operation of motor vehicles carries at least as much meaning as theoretical discus- sion of mental attitudes and psycho- analysis of drivers. Tourism town is located in a holiday land, easily accessible, the eyes of the com- munity have turned to tourism to bolster its sagging economy. Elliot Lake is situated only 17 miles from the Trans-Canada high- way between Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury. Its fishing, hunting, boat- ing and camping facilities are now open to tourists. Less than a decade ago the wide expanse of virgin coun- try north of Georgian Bay and High- way 17 was virtually inaccessable, but now it can be reached with com- parative ease because of the opening of new roads. A boast of the promot- ers of this new tourist area is that -visitors have the choice of 178 lakes, all accessible by road or boat, and all the lakes are filled with a variety of fish. Until uranium again takes an im- portant place in the support of Elliot Lake's economy, the residents are resolved to get the best they can out of the unusual tourist opportunities of their district. : Bible Thought He looseth the bonds of Kings. -- Exodus 20:8.

In those words - Hubert Ba- danai, former mayor and now Liberal MP for Fort William, summed up the mood of the House of Commons, at the be- ginning of an eagerly-awaited debate on capital punishment just a year ago. "To hang or not to hang" is no longer a question of such interest in Parliament. Talks with many MPs show that their opinion has now crystallized into well-defined channels, largely as the result of samplings of the opinions of 'the man in the street', and more especially of 'the woman in the playroom'. Bert Badanai, now as a year ago, supports one extreme opin- jon. He does not believe that the death penalty acts as a de terrent to any would-be mur. derer; and he finds the teach- ing of the Bible and the preach- ing of the clergy conflicting, with the balance perhaps in fa- vor of forgiveness. He believes, as does every MP I spoke to, that death should be the pun- ishment for wartime treason. An MP who conscientiously studies every topic of interest in his' constituency, he sees two deplorable encouragements to murder which should be halted: One is the ease with which any- one can obtain firearms in Can- ada, the other is the glorifica- tion of crime and violence in various entertainment media, which he believes exercise "an appalling influence on our youth and even on our less stable adults. MOST FAVOR EXECUTION Harold Danforth, Conservative MP for Kent County, Ontario, finds opinion among MPs to run about five-to-one in favor of re- taining the death penalty for any premeditated murder. He estimates that letters written to MPs run about 11-to-one urging the retention of capital punish- ment. Himself, he conforms to what appears the majority pat- tern among MPs. He favors the death penalty for treason in REPORT FROM U.K. Change In Bases Hits Community By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng,) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON ~-- President Kenne- dy's economy drive on overseas expenditures is going to deal a hard blow to a ring of commu- nities in the county of Norfolk. The latest piece of news to come from United States Air Force headquarters in Britain is that the force's base at Sculthorpe has been selected as one of those to be cut back to a very minor status. It is the largest of all the United States Air Force bases in the United King- dom. Instead of being the main base of the Destroyer atom- bombers of the Third Air Force, Sculthorpe, when the cutting down has been completed, will have the status of a satellite airfield. This means that transports carrying men and supplies, in- cluding H-bombs, to the big base at Lakenheath, Suffolk, will land at Sculthorpe only in case of emergency. The run-down of the Scul- thorpe Air Base, however, will be gradual. It will not be com- pleted for about two years. Its closure will be linked with the gradual replacement of the ob- solescent bombers.by new F.105 Thunderchief = fighter-bombers. The Thunderchiefs, however, are smaller aircraft, and will be based on some of the other ex- isting American air bases in Britain. Like the wing of bomb- ers, they will be part of the NATO air defence system. There are believed to be be- tween 50 and 60 atom bombs now stored in special storage dumps at Sculthorpe. They will be moved to the bases from which the Thunderchiefs will operate. While there have been reports that American bomber forma- tions are to be transferred from Britain to new bases in West Germany, British defence chiefs do not anticipate a mass depar- ture of bombers from this coun- try. But in the quiet Norfolk market town of Fakenham, six miles from the Sculthorpe bases, tradesmen were dismayed when they learned the news. Jjany of the 10,000 airmen and dependents at the base use Fakenham as their shopping centré. Loss of the business of this number of people could be crippling to the economy of the district. Fakenham i= not the only community affected. Many of the United States airmen and their families live out, in towns like King's Lynn, Norwich, Cro- mer, Hunstanton and others along the coast within a 20-mile radius from the air base. With the closure of Sculthorpe hun- dreds of furnished homes and flats will be left empty. wartime and for certain acts of piracy. He would also execute any person found guilty of a brutal murder, unless shown to have been insane. Mr. Danforth, again as do many MPs, feels that we have a >: happy compromise in our pres- ent system, that the Diefen- : baker government has picked ! the best of both worlds. This system is that the law stipu- lates the death sentence; judges must pass the death sentence upon a murderer found guilty by a jury; but the monarch's prerogative of clemency may be extended, to substitute a term of imprisonment for hang" ing, at the discretion of the cab- inet. Thus all criminals are finally subject to the same standards imposed by the same body, namely the cabinet. PROTECTION URGENT "I cannot help but believe that we should retain capital punishment; it serves as a de- terrent to protect society against some cold-blooded murderers, but it must be tempered with mercy;" says Dr. P. B. Rynard MP from Orillia. "Wé have to retain the death penalty as the ultimate deter. rent," says W. F. Matthews, MP from Nanaimo, who says he has not heard any MP ex- press unqualified support for total abolition. Judy LaMarsh, MP from Ni. agara Falls, looks at the sub- ject with a woman's mind but with the experience of a lawyer who has defended people ac- cused of murder--a viewpoint she shares with Prime Minister Diefenbaker. "It calls for come promise," she told me. "I don't believe the state has the right to take a life; and like all lawyers I am frightened that an innocent person might be exe ecuted in error--that is such a permanent error. But I do be- lieve that we need the death penalty to protect children, and especially to protect those BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Reginald G. Geen and Edou- ard Bartlett of Oshawa were featured atfists for the final con- cert of the season of the Porcu- pine Music Teachers' Associa- tion, playing in the Mcintyre building in Timmins. The local Ukrainian Commun- ity honored their servicemen at a banquet in the Ukrainian Hall. Alderman Michael Starr was chairman and Mayor F. N. Mc- 'Callum, T. K. Creighton, Lt.- Col. Murray Johnston, Lt.-Col. R B. Smith and Rev. John Jacenty were among the guests A section of land bordering Simcoe street at the CNR sta tion was turned over to the Osh. awa Rotary Club and the plot was made into a beauty spit Members of the Oshawa Yacht Club held a service in honor of the veterans who gave their lives in the war and Hon. G. D. Conant unveiled a silver plaque, bearing their names, to hang in the club room. Mrs. O. S. Hobbs, Divisional Commissioner, opened the Brownie Fair in the Parish Hall of St. George's Anglican Church. The new cafeteria was offic- ially opened at Adelaide House, YWCA. Oshawa salvage paper and rag drive was successful when more than 20 tons were collected by the committee and the revenue from the salvage was distribu- ted to local charities. City Council authorized sec- tions of Simcoe street south re- surfaced and the storm sewer from Lloyd street south to be reinforced. Mrs. T. Shields, Mrs. R. Clayton, Mrs. E. Richardson, Mrs. C. Hester, Mrs. J. Brooks, Miss Annie Oakley, Miss Ethel Wesson and Mrs. S. W. Wotton, members of the Women's Auxil- iaries of the local Anglican Churches, attended the diamond jugilee meeting of the WA in Toronto. Mrs. L. V. Disney was hostess at a dinner party in honor of Mrs. A. Courtney, Toronto, pre- sident of the Rebekah Assembly of Ontario, who paid an official visit to the Rebekah Lodges here. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Henry, Simcoe street south, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. INSIDE YOU Old Rocking Chair Good Prescription By BURTON H. FERN, MD Have you junked a valuable health preserver to make room for mechanized vibrators and infrared heat? ; That old - fashioned rocking chair is really a combination exerciser, bone builder, intesti- nal cleanser and happiness pill, No heated vibrator can make this statement! ' * If-you're too busy or too weak to trot around the block, you can exercise in a rocking chair. You tighten leg muscles to push back, and tense trunk muscles to swing forward. Without strain, bones feel use- less and melt away. Senior citi- zens confined to bed and chair often feel the aching pains of wasting bones in their hips and spine. On your rocker, stress and strain helps keep bores big and strong! CIRCULATION STIMULATED As leg muscles tighten and re- lax, they pump extra blood up the legs to the heart. Stretched by all this blood, the heart beats with new vigor, Sluggish circula- tions become whirlpools of ac- tivity. Foggy minds clear, as extra oxygen-rich blood gushes to the brain. The rhythmic rocking- horse effect sooths most irri tated nerves. *Regular rocking helps regular ity. Each bounce and jounce massages new activity into your. intestine. The chair supplies natural inner cleanliness, Rocking massages your lungs, too. Sticky mucus glued to tiny bronchial tubes and little air sacs are thrown loose, so that even a weak cough can clear the passage. You're no longer threatened by that pneumonia which strikes victims who have to lie in bed or sit still day after day. NO SUBSTITUTE In warm weather, your rock- ing chair moves onto the porch where you can rejoin the world and gather all the latest gossip. Heated vibrators are useful, but they're no substitute for an old- fashioned rocker. ] The rocking chair is no foun- tain of youth, but it certainly! can be a seat of health!

Methods used: mouth-to-mouth was first applied by an unidenti- fied bystander; this was fol- lowed: by the Schaffer method; minutes later, an electric ma- chine called the Batronic resus- citator was used. The water safety branch of the Canadian Red Cross en- dorses all three methods. The Batronic machine, especially, is a favorable method because it is not as susceptable to irregu- larity. Regular timing and pressure are most important when apply: ing artificial respiration. Red Cross has. medical charts; showing the inadvisability of re- placing one method with an other on the same person. Once a person starts artificial respiration, he must not change that method. Loss of timing and pressure are the result when this rule is not followed. The exception to this is the use of the Batronic resuscitator. The Red Cross does support the substitution of this machine, The © when it becomes available, for applied.

QUEEN'S PARK Pentagon Phone System Studied By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--We are studying a new telephone system here. Under it you would be able to dial directly from outside num- bers which you' now ask for and are inclined to end up in far Siberia with. It is patterned on a system that was installed in the Penta gon in Washington. Some of our people went down to see it. The net result so far is that one of them--A, 0. C. Cole; ex- ecutive assistant to the minister of public works, Ray Connell-- arrived home with a slight hole in the front of his head. For this he had a remarkable explanation. He said he got it pushing a moveable television set. Other people obviously run out of excuses too! (Alf undoubtedly did get it that way. He's a good guy. And will be a top dog around here one day . . . probably not too distant.) To date everybody can see the Mafia in Ontario except Attorney-General Roberts. Mr. Roberts ridicules sugges- tions about the notorious under- ground organization. It was breksn up years ago, he says. One rather kens that this is personal because be suspects criticism--that HE brought it here. The attorney-general has a rather remarkable sensitivity in this line. If you bring up anything with him he looks for a left hook against himself. It makes him so cautious that if you ask him if he is feeling well he gives you a qualified answer. He may be getting an unquali- fied one from Reform Institu- tions Minister George Wardrope one of these days. Mr. Wardrope and Mr. Rob- erts are buddies on the new drunk farm scheme. The A.G. and his minions have to send the offenders to the alcoholic potato patch. Mr. Wardrope has to provide the patch. But to date he hasn't been given much time by his buddy- boy.
