Page' 6 Saturday, September 2, 1961 Soviet Wrecks Prospect For Nuclear The Soviet Union's announcement that it will resume testing of nuclear bombs may be shocking, but it is not surprising. It is typical of brutal Com- munist approach to human relations. The free nations have dared to thwart the desires of Khrushchev in Berlin. The mass flight of men, women and children from his workers' paradise in East Germany has revealed to the world the sham of Communist concern for all but the party satraps. The closing of the German border to free travel, simply to keep people from leav- ing the workers' paradise -- and thereby turning half a country into one huge concentration camp -- has demonstrated the desperate Communist reliance on ruthless compulsion. Thus faced with diplomatic and pro- paganda defeat, Khrushchev has resorted to the inevitable Communist weapon: fear. In doing so he has revealed the reason for Soviet refusal to reach any sort of sensible agreement on the ban- ning of nuclear tests; he was reluctant Test Ban to give up any part of his power to threaten and terrorize. And once again he has revealed the complete cynicism of his doctrine of peaceful co-existence and the utter unreliability of Com- munists in international negotiations, His hope is to fill the West with fear, at least to so terrorize enough of the nations in the Western alliance that his opponents will be uncertain and dis- united when they face him in negotia- tions over the Berlin and German ques- tions. Is there any reason for terror? There is none, in the sense that a 20-megation bomb is more terrible than a 10-mega- ton bomb, What is shocking is that the world must now face the prospect of a steady increase in radiation and fall out whirled by the jetstreams around the planet. One can fear that the cause of disarmament has suffered a major and far-reaching setback. But to tremble before the nuclear bullying of the Com- munist colossus would be only a con- firmation of Khrushchev's faith in the decadence of the West. Protecting The Forests It is estimated that it will take New- foundland at least ten years to recover from the effects of the disastrous fires which have ravaged thousands of acres of that province's rich forests this sum- mer. There have, of course, been recrimi- nations. Critics of Premier Smallwood think that he was far too slow in realiz- ing the extent of the disaster, and thus was tardy in calling for federal help; federal officials, in fact, had been ready to provide the help for weeks, and when the call came, they were able to have hundreds of soldiers in Newfoundland in a matter of hours -- they could not act without a request from the provin- cial government. Premier Smallwood even went so far as to suggest by innu- endo, and without a scrap of supporting evidence, that many of the fires had been deliberately set by members of the International Woodworkers, with whom he has been feuding. When all the evidence is in, the sum will probably show that Newfound- land needs a greatly expanded forest protection service, Such a service takes time, money and skill -- and is short of both time and money. No Rush For At a time when all our universities are assumed to be crowded to the eaves it is surprising, and disturbing, that our medical schools can attract neither enough students nor enough of the top- grade students, In their first-year classes the 12 Canadian medical colleges have only 90 per cent enrolment; the schools can accommodate about 1,000 students, but 100 places are vacant. And, in fur- their contrast to the situation only a few years ago, when medicine had the pick of the student crop, only 15 per cent of today's applicants are honor students. A measure of the profession's con- cern with the problem is that Dr. Wen- dell MacLeod has left his post as dean of medicine at the University of Sas- katchewan to run a campaign that it is hoped will recruit more high school students to the study of medicine. It is Dr. MacLeod's opinion that if the trend Fhe Oshavon Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager C.

Circulation for the issue of March 30, 1961 . 17,363 USA, Ontario has been able steadily to reduce the extent of damage by forest fires, The 1920-29 average of area burned annually in this province was 475,000 acres; 1930-39, 400,000 acres; 1940-49, 241,000 acres; 1950-59, 97,516. In 1960, the fire loss covered only 31, 386 acres. It will be higher this year, because of the extremely dry conditions which have existed since last fall in the northwest part of Ontario. The reduction of loss has been achieved only by the steady improve- ment of provisions for fighting the fires, The Department of Lands and Forests now has enough fire fighting equipment and maintenance requirements to supply up to 10,000 men. This calls for 757 miles of fire hose, 1300 fire pumps, 1564 two-way radios, 320 fire towers (80 to 100 feet high), 2400 tents, 31,000 pairs of blankets, and a host of other items. It has 900 vehicles, 1500 boats and canoes and 44 aircraft, And all this must be directed with skill and knowledge. That is the sort of formidable estab- lishment to which the island province must aspire. Medicin 1 e continues, the country may soon suffer a severe shortage of physicians. The deficiency of medical students is being laid to three causes: the high cost of a medical education, the at- traction of earlier rewards in other fields, and the fear of state medicine. A medical education has always been expensive. Whether it is now relatively more expensive than in former times might be questioned, but. under the burden of today's high income and estate taxes -- of minor consequence even one generation back -- many a parent might hesitate to commit himself to supporting a dependent through a seven-year medical course. From within the profession have come suggestions of curriculum changes and shorter vacations, which could cut a year off the course, a proposal that might induce more families to steer a child toward medicine. If it is true that cost is keeping able students out of medical schools, or diverting them to other fields, that would seem to be a problem that the combined efforts of the schools, the profession and the public could solve. An unknown factor in the situation is the fear of state medicine, Certainly many of Britain's doctors have found state medicine difficult to live with. Over the past five years Canada alone has received 400 British doctors annu- ally. In fact, for Canada this has been a fortunate circumstance as only this inflow has kept the supply of doctors up to the needs of the country's expand- ing population, But there is no firm evidence to indicate the attitudes of young Canadians who consider and then reject medicine as a career.

UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Government Extends Its Effort To Freeze Wages By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- More than five million British workers are now covered by the government's wage pause order. This has been extended to cover three and a half million people in a host of private industries whose pay and conditions are govern- ned by wages councils. This step represents the govern- ment's first attempt to halt wage increases outside the public sector of employment. The result has been to pro- voke the trade unions into even stronger protests against the de- cision to freeze the salaries of one and a half million civil and public servants. Wages councils are set up to protect the inter- ests of workers in industries in which union organization is weak. The government is there- fore being accused of trying to make an example of the least prosperous section of the com- munity. COUNCILS NOTIFIED The government's decision was made known in letters sent to the secretaries of 13 wage councils which are concerned at the moment with wage de- mands. Similar letters will be sent to the remaining 47 councils as and when they receive wage demands. These letters ask the wage councils to take into con- sideration the chancellor of the exchequer's demands for a wage freeze. They go on to give warning that if wage increase proposals are submitted the minister of labor will simply refer them back to the council as a whole for reconsideration, with - his own obseryations. Under the wage councils act, the minister cannot reject or amend proposals submitted by a wages council. But he can refer the submissions back for further consideration, and that is what the government proposes to have done. MAY CO-OPERATE ; There are strong indications that the Trades Union Con- gress, while it is strongly op- posed to Selwyn Lloyd's econom- ic measures, may give its co- operation to the chancellor in his longterm planning proposal After a rather stormy meeting with Mr. Lloyd, in which he was bluntly accused of dictatorship, the union representatives on the economic committee of the TUC general council agreed to give consideration to his plans for the formation of a new central planning body. Sir Alan Birch, chairman of the committee, was on holiday, and his deputy, Harry Douglas, told Mr. Lloyd that the TUC had never refused to work with any government at any time, but that the chancel lor of the exchequer had made its task more difficult than it had ever been in the past. Mr. Douglas. however, with a certain show of magnanimity, told Mr. Lloyd that in spite of the difficulties the unions were experiencing through his dicta- torial action, they would take his plan for a central planning body, on which labor would be repre- sented, back to the TUC general council for examination. But this concession was made only after the union spokesman had ham- mered at Mr. Lloyd, with Mr. Douglas taunting him that his actions were "more worthy of Khrushchev than of a democra- tic government." On another matter of govern- ment policy -- the decision to open negotiations for entry into the European Common market -- the Trades Union Congress has decided to support the gov- ernment's decision in this direc- tion. The economic ' committee has recommended to the general council that the government be given the go-ahead signal for negotiations. . While the TUC chiefs have agreed on this, the political Labor party is still sitting on the fence and has neither back- ed nor opposed negotiations. The TUC committee's recommenda- tion, however, does not commit it to a policy of joining the Com- mon Market. It merely gives its blessing to negotiations being undertaken. No further decision OTTAWA REPORT When Miss Skate Scotted To Fame By PATRICK NICHOLSON Prime Minister John Diefen- baker welcomed "Miss Canada 1961" on Parliament Hill, when she returned home to Ottawa af- ter winning our national beauty crown. He gave a good laugh to her escort of Junior Board of Trade officials when a spooner- ism tripped his normally facile tongue. 'You have earned your place among the talented young ladies who have brought fame to their hometown of Ottawa," he said. "Suzanne Cloutier (now Mrs. Peter Ustinov) achieved stardom in the theatre; Anne Heggtveit won an Olympic Gold Medal or her skis; and Barbara Ann Skate scotted her way to world fame." RECORD FISH Trade Minister George Hees is ably served by the smartest backroom boy in Ottawa, the legendary and twice-as-good-as- gold Mel Jack, who is by far Canada's most effective political adviser. Recently George Hees was visiting northern Saskatch- ewan promoting trade and good- will. Mel was with him, and heard the local gossip that a commercial fisherman had landed a mammoth lake trout in his net nearly a week earlier: it weighed 102 pounds. Mel, an enthusiastic freshwater and big- game fisherman himself, was quick to sense a possible world's record: He moved fast, brought the trade minister within han- dling distance of the already odorescent monster, and a pho- tographer snapped Mr. Hees with the five-day old catch, esti- mated to have lived 45 years in Lake Athabaska, and put the name of fisherman Orton Flett in the record book. Mel Jack had stepped in smartly where the iocal experts had failed to recognize a story. TO SPUR GAS HORSES Is a Mountie a Mountie when he is a car-driver? The anach- ronism of the historic spur in the Mounties' uniform was un- derlined on Parliament Hill last week wher one of our Finest rammed his accelerating car into the commuting vehicle of a civil servant. Apologising pro- fusely, the red-faced redjacket explained that his spur had caught in the gas pedal. Visitors to Ottawa's annual fair, the Central Canada Exhi- bition, thronged to the exhibits and the midway in larger num- bers than ever before while the sun shore. Delighted boys ca- joled their parents to take them into the Red Indian village, where to their delight they found a trading post selling such boys' joys as bows and arrows. But the joy was alloyed when the boys got home and found the Red Indian weapons to be clearly stamped 'Made in Ja- pan. FROST IN THE SENATE? The report is strong here that Ontario's retiring premier, Les- lie Frost, has ambitions to be named to our Senate, where a vacancy was created just be- fore his retirement announce- ment by the death of Ontario's tf Senator Euler. Once there, he would like to be named Senate Leader with a seat in the fed- eral cabinet; the report cone tinues that when apprised of this Senator Aseltine claimed, "But I am the Senate leader"; Sena- tor W. R. Brunt, now deputy leader, protested 'But I hope to be Senate leader"; and Senator "Solly" Thorvaldson, president of the Conservative Association, asserted: "But I should be Sen- ate leader." The story is of course apocryphal. DECENTLY CLAD A notice in our Parliament building says that visitors in quite informal garb may yet en- ter the public galleries of our decorous Parliament; but it urges ladies in bright clothes to sit at the back, and it does ban shorts. The Parliamentary guards struggled with their con- science through the humid sum- mer sittings of Parliament, baf- fled by a troop of Boy Scouts and the like. Now however with Parliament not sitting, tourists may follow the tour through the chambers even in shorts. But one couple misunderstood, and a bewildered guard saw a man and a short-clad woman enter the men's room. The man shut himself behind a door, and soon a hand passed out a pair of trousers. The woman slipped these over her shorts and left on the tour. Meanwhile hubby re- mained a voluntary shut-in PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM In the case of many a person, conscience doesn't keep him from sinning. It just makes him remorseful after he has sinned. Man will néver be able to pro- duce a flying apparatus with the manoeuverability of the hum- ming bird. Another person who deserves more credit that he receives is the man who invented the road map that folds like an accor- on. Another type of '"'driving under the influence" that causes some wrecks is driving under the influence of a backseat driver. It seems many people are just not fit subjects for paradise. Adam and Eve got thrown out of the Garden of Eden, and dur- ing July 30,000 East Berliners left their Communist paradise. With reference to the Berlin situation, it seems the Western allies are expecting the worse and preparing for the worst.

BAN SQUARE MEETING For the first time on record, the ministry of works has forbid- den the use of Trafalgar Square to an organization to hold a dem- onstration in peacetime. The only other instance of this being done by the government was during the first world war. The organization which has been refused permission for a Trafalgar Square meeting is known as thc Committee of 100. Its president, Lord Bertrand Russell, has expressed his indig- nation at the refusal in a letter to The Times, in which he says: "If legitimate outlets for ex- pression of opinion are refused, many, who might otherwise hes- itate, will be driven to civil dis- obedience 2c *he only opening left to them." The Committee of 100 is send- ing a deputation to the ministry of works to protest against its PC fla ah ms pon aco endian is adte fd refusal to allow =a Trafalgar Square meeting on Sept. 17. Commenting on this letter, the ministry of works spokes man said: "The Committee of 100 has publicly declared its intention of organizing a sit-down demons- tration in Parliament Square on September 17. On the last occa- sion when they did this, the re- sult was several hundred arrests in Whitehall, That is the back- ground against which the refusal was given." The Committee of 100 has been st aging demonstrations against nuclear weapons, and in favor of unilateral disarma- ment. The ministry spokesman said: "Trafalgar Square is a na- tional memorial and not a pub- lic highway. We are not con- cerned with the highway running round the square." Any organization holding a meeting in Trafalgar Square must secure permission from the ministry of works, and in asking for permission has to state whether any marching is involved, so that the police may take steps for the maintenance of order. In this case it looks as if the police authorities have secured the co-operation of the ministry of works in preventing a threatened disorder after the committee's proposed Trafalgar Square rally. BY.GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Many improvements were made to the interior of King, Simcoe and Albert street schools during the summer vacation. Librarian Jessie McEwen re- ported a total of 2305 books were taken out by readers in August. Major A. F. Hind, A. N. Ellis, Capt. J. A. McGibbon and James Foulds represented Oshawa at the funeral of Sir Sam Hughes, Canada's former minister of Militia and Defence, who 'died at' Lindsay. Christopher Vann, of Oshawa, was awarded several first priz- es for his vegetable exhibits at the CNE. Salvation Army Citadel Band presented its final Sunday con- gent of the season at Lakeview ark. Town Council ordered clean- ing up of former Pedlar proper- ty on Simcoe Street with a view to using it as a park site. The Board of Water Commis- sioners approved of extensive additions to the water mains in the south-east section of the town. During the month of August seven' building permit- were is- sued, valued at $17,800. A build- ing record for the eight months totalled $206,745. At the annual convention of the Life Underwriters' Associa- tion held in Victoria, B.C, a presidential gavel was present. ed to Oshawa for showing the increase in membership during the past year. At a meeting of the county roads advisory committee of county council, the the scale of wages for the balance of the year was set at 25 cents an hour for labor and $5.50 a day for teams and outfit, Oshawa manufactured pro- ducts were well represented at the CNE, when General Motors and Williams Piano Co. display- ed very fine exhibits attracting large crowds.
