he Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Saturday, July 8, 1961 Bank Governor's Stand Prolongs Bad Situation One wonders why James E. Coyne clings so stubbornly to his job as Gov- ernor of the Bank of Canada. If he wished to force the fullest public debate of his differences with the federal govern- ment, he has achieved his aim. There have been hundreds of thousands of words spoken on the subject in the House of Commons and written in the columns of newspapers and magazines. Mr. Coyne himself has been churning out statements -- using Bank of Canada facilities, incidentally -- at a brisk lip. There is every indication that when the bill to fire him gets through the Commons it will be held up in the Senate and Mr. Coyne will be given still another opportunity to state his case. The government bungled the matter of his removal. There is no doubt about that. Finance Minister's Fleming's troubles with Mr. Coyne seem to have started four years ago, when the Gov- ernor rejected the 'Minister's proposal for a lowering of the liquidity require- ments of chartered banks. They have continued to the present, the raising of the Governor's pension apparently being the straw that finally proved too much of a burden for Mr. Fleming's patience. It must have been obvious long before this that the government, which should be finally responsible for both fiscal and monetary policy, would constantly be at odds with a man of Mr. Coyne's views. An earlier demand for his resigna- tion might well have prevented the un- seemly, undignified and damaging debate that is now raging. Mr. Coyne's stubborn attitude and the manner in which it is being debated in the House are doing the Bank of Canada and Canadian prestige no good at all. It is breeding an atmosphere of uncertainty, distrust and is confusing when what is needed is a healthy climate for vigorous growth. While the government must bear the initial blame for this situation, Mr. Coyne is guilty of prolonging and intensifying it. The Spread Of Science Science goes beyond all national frontiers. Its truth is daily demonstrated in the great international drives to rid the world of malaria and other diseases, and no conquer hunger by better hus- bandry. Many of these efforts stem from United Nations agencies and from re- gional arrangements like the Colombo Plan. Less publicized are the British Commonwealth Scientific Offices, which, from headquarters in London, channel the fruits of research across the world. Significantly this is one of those links which countries emerging into full nationhood do not want to break. In London in Africa House are the scien- tific offices of India, Pakistan and the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland as well as of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Ghana and the Federation of Malaya have recently accepted an invitation to take part in its activities and Nigeria, Cyprus and Sierre Leone have been in- vited to join. Ceylon maintains scien- tific liaison there also. Here is a body which brings research men together in a co-operation closer than the political or constitutional links. But the benefits are not confined to Commonwealth countries. Recently for example, a South American republic asked its embassy in London for docu- mentation on improvement of pasture lands. Since Australia, the least fertile of the continents, has had to face this problem the query went to the Aus- tralian liaison officer at Africa House-- and the field work in one country is making for a better living in another, a half a world away. The information which flows into this office is as varied and comprehensive as the field of its outflow for there too, are numerous other groups dealing with geology and industry. Scientific attaches are maintained in Russia, North Amer- ica, France, Germany, Scandinavia and "India and a representative is being sent to Japan. No country has enough research men, but in this background is the means for each member country to draw on the work done in any or all of the others and to know about research going on in the world at large. Documents published, say, in German, and translated in England are freely available in Hong Kong. Between the individual liaison officers there is a full and constant in- terchange on almost everything from aeronautics to zoology. A Canadian observer noted that the integration of joint efforts was so close that it was sometimes impossible to say who started a particular piece of work. Body Air-Conditioning Although we haven't had much opportunity to experience it yet this year, summer weather with its in- evitable periods of excessive heat is already upon us. And people just as surely as in the past will seek ways to escape the heat. Sometimes, when they don't use discretion, the result can be dis- astrous, as reports of drowning ac id an recent warm weekends have already shown. But just as there are foolish ways to escape the heat there are better ways as well. The most convenient one to come to mind these days may be modern air conditioning -- pleas- ant while one is in a building equip- ped with it, but not without its haz- The Oshawa Times The Oshawa [(imes combini The Oshawo limes (established 187)) ond the itby Gazette ond Chronicle (established 1863) i published daily (Sundays and statutory holidays excepted) ot C Dany P Association.

And who wants to stay indoors all the time anyway during the bright sunny weather of a Canadian sum- mer ? Better still, according to a health talk reprinted in the current issue of Blueprint For Health, is to recog- "'nize that the human body is, in effect, an afr litloning itself. When changing weather causes the temperature to rise and fall, a little centre in the brain, acting as a ther- mostat, turns loose the mechanisms that help the body maintain its normal temperature. 3 "To keep cool in hot weather," it states, "you must help your body lose heat. When the body temperature is high, the heat control centre starts the sweat glands to work harder causing a person to perspire more profusely. As the perspiration evap- orates from the skin, heat is taken away from the body. When the air is humid, less evaporation takes place and the body is slow to cool." Sounds simple, doesn't it ? But there is more to it than that. To as- sist the required evaporation, loose clothing, of porous or meshed mater- ial should be worn. Frequent baths or sponging not only help to keep cool but to keep down the perspiration odor. And what liquid is lost through perspiration should be replaced by frequent drinking of water plus an increased intage of salt both in food and water. With reference to diet, health of- ficials state that it plays an import- ant part in the cooling off process in hot weather. Care should be taken to avoid heat producing foods -- that is, those with a high calorie content. At the same time, a balanced diet should be maintained. WL Dy LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN? OTTAWA REPORT Journey By Dief To Prince Albert By PATRICK NICHOLSON Every MP likes to visit his constituency now and then while Parliament is sitting, especially when the session is long drawn out. So it was true to form that the local MP should drop in on who conceived and organized the Diefenbaker Clubs, which united supporters of the Liberal, CCF and Social Credit parties with the Conservatives to elect John Diefenbaker in the traditional Prince Albert and ing Saskatchewan communities last week. A handful of friends and sup- porters gathered at the airport to welcome him, among whom were naturally his former law partner, Jack Cuelenaere, and his fishing companion, Fred Hadley. It seemed incidental that the visitor is also prime minister of Canada, while Mr. Cuelenaere is also mayor of Prince Albert; Fred Hadley, of course, is the political genius INSIDE YOU Liberal stronghold of Prince Albert. So it was just as the local MP that the prime minister en- joyed a few casual hours at home, talking with old friends and long-ago acquaintances, and dropping into homes as an un- heralded but welcome visitor. NAMES REMEMBERED When Prince Albert's John metaphorically changed his mantle to become Canada's prime minister, officiating at Answers Queries For Sun-Bathers By BURTON H. FERN, MD 1. A glowing tan is a sign of health. True-- False-- 2. Sun-bathing can make you sick. True -- False-- 3. Sun rays can cause hives. True -- False-- 4. Sun-tan lotions can give you a true tan before sun-bathing. True-- False-- 5. Special pills prevent sun- burn and speed tanning. True-- False-- 1. False. Worn-out adrenal glands, poor circulation and brain disease can all give you that glowing tan. Usually, you tan when harmful sun rays get under your skin. To defend itself, the outer skin layer thickens while spe- cial cells, deeper down, manu- facture a brown pigment Sun ran harvely TAVS melanin pierce 'this thick dark skin. SOME DIFFERENCES But all men aren't created equal; some have more pig- ment than others. Light blondes and redheads often freckle and burn and never tan. 2. True Sunlight may eventual- ly lead to cancer. After years of climbing crow's-nests and nail- ing up scarecrows, sailors and farmers find their weather- beaten, sun-soaked, leather-like skin fertile ground for cancer. Even darker tars, protected by that recessed filter of melanin, aren't immune to skin cancer. 3. True Allergic sun-worship- pers somefimes break out in hives. Others battle sun-trig- gered fever blisters. 4. False Tanning lotions put sun-glasscs on your skin so that you don't burn all at once. When your skin thickens and darkens, ycu won't have to open bottles for lotions of protection. FALSE TAN To give you that tan feeling before you sun-bathe, many Ictions stain your skin with a yellow-brown dye. This false tan while you're waiting for your own pigment. 5. True Oxypsoralen capsules -- two hours before your sun bath -- prevent burning and speed tanning when you soak up the sun. Because of side ef- fects, however, oxypsoralen pre- scriptivns are often reserved for the fairest of the fair! Was your score fair! Or is your face red? can DOOSL morale BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Rev. J. H. McBain, BA., be- gan his pastorate at Simcoe Street Methodist Church. Thomas Morris, veteran town clerk of Oshawa, passed away in his 78th year. YMCA board of directors de- cided to operate a summer camp for the boys of the town. Oshawa Cadet Corps No. 275 with commanding officer, Sgt. Maj. H. E. Green, attended camp at Niagara-on-the-Lake. The Amity Square Tuxis Boys of Oshawa Presbyterian Church headed a list of 60 groups, in connection with the Canadian Standard Efficiency Training program which was held in Ap- ril, to capture the Dominion Shield. Oshawa Board of Trade made a request to the Hydro Commis- sion that Oshawa be linked up with the Niagara power system. A discussion of the annexa- tion of Cedardale and West: mount to Oshawa, took place at the town council meeting. The demand for strawberries at the market exceeded the sup- ply at 18 cents a quart. Butter sold at 30 cents a pound, while eggs advanced to 40 cents a dozen Town council passed a reso- lution that street cars be stop- ped running while Sunday church services are in progress. Canadian Order of Foresters Lodge, Oshawa, marked its 47th anniversary by attending church service at King Street Methodist Church with Rev. A. M.

John Diefenbaker was ! introduced on a formal bunting- i draped platform to deliver a formal speech, but apart from he was just a He mingled with the picnick- ing assembly of shirt-sleeved deep - tanned farmers; he greeted their wives by name; he posed for snapshots with their children. With that fabulously unfailing memory, he remin- isced over the 58 years since he first came to Saskatchewan to live. "Hello John," he typically greeted John Dick. And he re- called how the Dick family had welcomed the Diefenbakers into their home for two months when the late W. T. Diefenbaker had come from Ontario to the new West to take up a teaching post in August, 1903. "The teacherage was in bad condition, and they stayed with us at Tiefengrunt while it was fixed up," John Dick explained. "The last time we met was at a farmers' meeting in 1942, when wheat was 42 cents a bushel. Jimmy Gardiner was minister of agriculture, but I guess he didn't dare show up; the angry farmers would have lynched him. But another Lib- eral tried to tell us we weren't 50 badly off. Then John Diefen- baker got up amid that hostile crowd. He cracked at us: 'When the birds come in the spring- time, its always tweet, tweet, tweet; when the boys and girls are courting, its always sweet, sweet, sweet; but here in Sask- atchewan, its always, by golly, wheat, wheat, wheat." And he had us all laughing." MORE HONORED IN OTTAWA So throughout his 24-hour visit it was the Prairie boy infor- mally visiting home and re newing happy acquaintances. No doubt he prefers it that way; perhaps the release from protocol is a welcome relaxation for the prime minister. But the extremely easy-going air in Prince Albert seemed to my Ottawa eyes to amount al- most to indifference to high of- fice. For instance, Mr. and Mrs. Diefenbaker and Fred Hadley wore driven 80 miles laroelv along dirt roads through the drought-parched wheatlands, to Batoche and back by the genial Inspector Duff of the RCMP. They drove alone. Yet many other cars went that same route for that same occasion. Are there no' organizers or party officials among the 16,583 voters who sunported Mr. Dief- enbaker in 1958, who could have organized a cavalcade of cars to escort our prime minister? The lonely unhonored drive of the Pride of Prince Albert was a vivid contrast to the huge wel- coming cavalcade which es- corts the PM on his returns from overseas, from the airport to his house in this capital which he never calls "home." PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "If outer space is spherical and limited, as Einstein postu- lated, what lies outside of space?" asks a commentator. That's easy. Non-space lies out- side of it And the difference between space and non-space is that space will contain objects, while non-space will not. Sudden sobering thought: Wonder what will become of France when de Gaulle dies. "Money isn't everything." But, then, neither is anything else. Two things no person ever be- lieved he lacked: (1) An open mind; (2) a sense of humor. President Kennedy says that in addition to asking, "Is it news?" newspapermen should ask if it's in the public inter- est. The public would complain if papers published only news in "U.K. OPINION Villages Facing Losses In US. Air Base Cuts By M. McINTYRE HOOD For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- News of the slashing cuts in United States air bases in Britain by the U.S. treasury has been received with dismay in the areas where these bases are located. Four bases are affected by the latest orders for dismantling. They are: Anconbury, where there are 2,500 military personnel, 4,300 dependents and 514 employed British civilians. Chelveston, with 1,100 mili- tary, 1,450 dependents and 180 British civilian employees. Sculthorpe, with 2,700 mili- tary, 5,800 dependents and 585 British civilian employees. Bruntingthorpe, with 1,000 mil- {tary, 1,400 dependents, and 116 British civilian employees. MEANS HEAVY LOSS The aim of the U.S. treasury, it is reported, is to effect a sav- ings of $70 million a year. These bases will be cut down to small detachments to carry out weath- er, communications and support functions. This is going to mean a heavy loss to the residents of the vil- lage where these air bases are located. Merchants, property owners, house builders and builders will be among those most severely affected, and their losses will be heavy. Hun- dreds of houses have been built to accommodate United States airmen and their families, and these will be left vacant. The fact that some 7,000 American airmen and their families will be leaving Britain means a very substantial loss of business for all types of merchants in the areas they leave. The mayor of King's Lynn, Norfolk, expressed the general feeling when, speaking of the closing of the Sculthorpe base, he said: "I shall be sorry to see them go. They have brought a lot of trade and prosperity to the town. Trade is going to feel the pinch and the loss of it will be a severe blow." NO WAGE RESTRAINT The plea made by Chancellor of the Exchequer Selwyn Lloyd for restraint in wage claims has fallen on deaf ears so far as the powerful Engineering and Shipbuilding Union is concern- ed. In his appeal, Mr. Selwyn Lloyd said: QUEEN'S PARK Code Of Ethics Nought To Fear By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The province's mayors and reeves don't want a code of ethics. They also don't want a pro- vincial "board of ethics." Well gentlemen, you will probably be getting both in some form or other. There was one bright man at the mayors and reeves annual convention. York Township Councilor Philip White said to the dele- gates: "What have you to fear if you are honest and honorable?" Gentlemen, what have you? INSPECTION SENSIBLE The tender feelings of our municipal representatives are getting to the stage of the ri- diculous. They would give the impres- sion that they believe that they, of all things on this earth, ani- mate and inanimate, are per- fect, The proposal that there should be some inspection of municipal administ r a ti o n is completely sensible and practical. Your average local councillor is a man who has landed into the new--and complex--field of municipal affairs, probably from behind a store counter, an insurance office, or some other rather limited and specialized business life. The normal council usually has a few men of some years experience. But even they can not be expected to krow too much. And it is not by any means unknown for a com- pletely new council to be elected. Can such men and such groups possibly know it all? ACT IGNORED The great weakness in .the mayors' and reeves' thinking, of course, is that it ignores the fact there is an Ontario Municipal Act. The fact there is such an act --which lays down the ground rules for municipal administra- tion -- means the government here has a responsibility to the people of the province for the conduct of municipal business. The other important weakness is that with their tender feelings the mayors feel that any pro- vincial supervision implies sus- picion of dishonesty, or at least a criticism. This, of course, is false. It is both natural and sound that the province, with its staff of ex- perts, should keep an eye on municipal administration, and where advice is needed to pass it along to the relatively in- experienced local leadership. This is the real point of mu- nicipal supervision. Any dis- honesty uncovered would be only incidental. REPORT FROM U.K. Building Permits No Simple Matter By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- For an individual to make plans to build 2a home and secure the necessary per- mit to do so is child's play in #Canada compared with the ob- stacles which stand in the way of such developments in Britain. S50 long as the plans conform to the local bylaws in Canada, it is quite a simple matter to secure a building permit. But it is not so in this country. First of all, planning permis- sion has to be secured before the prospective home builder dares to go ahead with his plan- ning. This is sometimes quite a lengthy procedure as many factors, such as suitability of the house for the site, whether its character will fit in with other properties in the district, and the distance from other de- veloped areas are considered before planning permission is given. Once that is secured the plans have to be prepared. These have to be studied by the municipal architects and the planning committee of the council, and these bodies can reject the plans or order them to be changed. In some cases, these bodies have objected even to the color of the tiles to be used on the roof. BAN ISOLATED SITES People who plan to build a house in the country, many miles from anywhere, and with only the birds and bees for company, are now coming in for shocks. On the advice of the minister of housing, local plan- ning authorities in some areas are refusing application to build "dream houses", except in ex- ceptional circumstances. the public Interest, as the public is keenly interested in many things that are not in the pub- lic interest. Advocates of "togetherness" ar erequested to read and pon- der this: "Ninety per cent of all murders in 86 American cit- ies surveyed involved people related to one another and liv- ing under the same roof." Essex, Surrey, Hertfordshire and many other county plan- ning chiefs are working out a firm policy to prevent this type of development across the coun- tryside. In Norfolk, the county plan- ning comnfiittee had just issued a "policy statement" for the guidance of all who may wish to build new 'homes in rural areas. EVIDENCE REQUIRED This statement says: "We will want to be provided with firm evidence of a need which could not be satisfactor- ily met by development in a village or town." The council is resisting pro- posals to extend isolated groups of existing houses outside towns or villages, or to extend a rib- bon of houses along a country road unless agricultural need can be shown. "What we want to do," the statement goes on, "is to bring about constant improvement in the design of houses to be put up in the country. We plan also to impose conditions either that trees at present growing on the property shall be retained, or that additional trees will be planted so that the buildings harmonize with their surround- ings." But the main purpose of the rules is to ensure that, as far as possible, new houses are built only within the confines of already existing towns and vil- lages. "We Jiave 10. Yocum that this eternal p-irogging cess by which all in Sh groups try th. improve their 1. can do us great harm as a na- tion." Answer of the leaders of the Engineering and Union was a blunt demand for a $2.80 a week increase for all its three million members. They scoffed at Mr. Lloyd's plea, and said that with beer, tobacco and bread all increased in price re- cently, the chancellor do something to restrict profits and keep prices stable before asking the workers to forego wage in- creases. Decision of the union conference amounted to a flat refusal to exercise any restraint whatsoever regarding wage claims. LABOR'S FINANCES Chief of the Labor party -- the political party as apart from the trade unions -- have called an emergency meeting of all §7 affiliated trades unions in the hope of doing something to solve the party's mounting fi nancial crisis. The party chiefs are faced with a deficit of $252,- 000 in their general fund, which last year incurred a loss of $220,000. The aim of the emergency meeting is to try to persuade the - union men, representing some six million workers, to in- crease the annual affiliation fee of 10 cents a head paid to all members. Last year, at the Trades Union Conference at Douglas, a plea for an increase of the fee from 10 to 15 cents a head was ruthlessly voted down. No in- crease was granted. Hence the desire of the party leaders to get the ear of union delegates in advance of this fall's, annual conference. Another crisis on finance has arisen in the General and Trans- port Workers' Union. This union's financial statement for the last year shows a loss of $5,074,000 on its investments, due to a slump in prices of gilt- edged securities on the stock ex- change. Net result is that this union is to hold a special fall conference with the object of raising members' subscription fees. INSURANCE DEARER Substantial increases in car insurance rates will affect Brit- ish motorists after September 1 of this year. And the increases will largely be based on the principle that the larger and busier the town or city, the high- er the insurance premium that the motorist will have to pay. Application of this principle, which is unknown in Canada, is that car owners in central Lon- don and the inner suburbs will have to pay 20 per cent more for their insurance because of the greater accident risk in these areas. An increase of 10 per cent is likely in many other large cities and towns where traffic is heavy. But this prin- ciple is side-stepped completely with regard to Scotland, where the increase may go as high as 30 per cent in those parts of that country where the present premiums are considered too low. Spokesman for the Accident Offices' Association says: "The increases are necessary as the cost of claims continue to rise faster than the increase in the number of cars on the road. If the spiral of claims costs continues to outweigh the additional premiums received, jurther rate revisions must fol- ow."
