Fhe Oshavon Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Wednesday, September 13, 1961 Canadian Club Prepares 'For Another The Canadian Club of Ontario County begins a new season this month, with Mavor Moore as the speaker at the first meeting, - Mr. Moore, writer, actor, critic and a brilliant man-about-the-arts, has been described as a genius.by no less dour a critic than Nathan Cohen -- and his selection as a speaker reflects the high standard maintained by the Canadian Club, which meets regularly in Oshawa through the fall and win- ter season. He will be followed by distinguished speakers such as Willson Woodside in October, Peter Ackroyd in November, Sir Robert Hadow in January and M. J. Coldwell in Feb- ruary. Despite the long establishment of the Canadian Club here, there is a curious misunderstanding among many local residents as to its organ- ization and purposes. It is thought by some to be a political club, by others 'a sort of service club or rather exclu- sive social group to which entry can be gained only by invitation. It is, in fact, none of these. A Canadian Productivity Among the numerous Royal Com- missions busy on various important problems -- or busy, perhaps, after the manner of Royal Commissions, in delaying the solution of those prob- Jems -- there is one dedicated to the investigation of waste and extrava- gance in government and of devising ways and means of keeping the bur- eaucratic "birth rate" under control. Meanwhile, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reports that last year the federal government added some 8000 new employees to the public pay rolls. In the same period, the cost of the departmental payrolls increased by upwards of $48,000,000. Hansard affords no explanation of this phenomenal increase. The figures represent, we would suggest, a real challenge to the Royal Commission investigating waste and extravagance. Big Season Club is made up simply of a number of people in a community who meet at intervals in the afternoon or even- ing to hear distinguished Canadians or visitors from other countries speak on issues of national and internat- ional importance. It is a club that welcomes as large an audience as pos- gible, since it exists on the very mod- erate fees charged for membership, and which are used largely to pay the speakers. It is, then, a distinct cultural asset to any community, and develops its greatest strength when it has the sup- port and interest of people from all parts of the community. The au- dience thus obtained provides a for- um of Canadian citizens, representing all political and religious faiths and a wide range of social and economic viewpoints, Indeed, the greater the range, the more interesting the meet- ings of the club can be. Locally, a Canadian Club provides intellectual stimulation; nationally, it is an im- portant unifying force. At Ottawa Ordinary people may be forgiven for wondering how it is that in a year of recession, with no major new gov- ernment services introduced, the de- partments of the Federal Government manage to add so substantially both to the numbers and cost to the tax- payers of running the country. Finance Minister Fleming has ex- pressed concern about the need of greater productivity in Canadian economic life. If productivity gains in industry are to be offset by the mounting cost of a Federal bureau- cracy, it is clear that the objective of more efficient and less costly produc- tive effort will not be achieved. Surely efficiency in the manage- ment of the government is no less im- perative than cost - cutting in busi- ness and industry. That, indeed, is where the start should be made, and the example set. Larceny By Motorists bing following drivers of some of their good humor. The Ontario Safety League says that most drivers steal! However, this is not a reflection on the ordin- ary honesty of Ontario drivers. It just means that most motorists who would scrupulously respect the prop- erty. "of others, cannot be trusted to have the same regard for the rights of others on the roads. The widespread stealing ranges all the way from petty pilfering to rob- bery with murder, all of it carried out by ordinary citizens -- the great majority of whom are honest, decent, likeable. These are some of the examples of minor pilfering. Stopping over the crosswalk at intersections, depriving pedestrians of their right of way, and forcing them to walk out into the traffic lane; driving with rear window obscured by dirt or snow, which cuts down visibility for following drivers; driving below the speed limit in the passing lane on highways, thus rob- The Oshawa Simes 7.

Circulation for the issue of March 30, 1961 117,363 Criminal larceny includes every type of dangerous driving which threatens other road users with loss of property, health and even of life. Statistics and news reports show how often this threat is carried out. But the most widespread offence on the road is space stealing. Every driver on the road has the moral and legal right to protect himself in moving traffic by keeping a safe dis- tance from other traffic. But this is a right that cannot be maintained or enforced. A driver who keeps a correct dis- tance from the car ahead is liable to have his protective space stolen by someone cutting in. This can be a little irritating but is not serious, because he can immediately drop back to the correct following distance again. But there is little he can do to lessen the affront, and unneces- sary danger, imposed by the tail- gating driver who comes up from behind and remains only a few feet from his rear bumper. Rear-end collisions resulting from "bunching" are so commonplace that many people seem to regard them as inevitable. But they are nearly always unnecessary, and the result of stu- pidity or indifference. Tailgating is senseless, and slows, rather than speeds up the flow of traffic. The Ontario Safety League asks you not to steal the protective space that be- longs to the other driver. Other Editor's Views NOT EFFICIENT (New York Herald Tribune) Military experts are saying that a 100-megaton bomb such as Mr. Khrush- chew talked about, one with a wallop equal to 100,000,000 tons of TNT -- would be too big to be efficient. That's phice. FRENCH FRIED REPORT FROM U.K. Prosperity Seen For Mining Area By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A big new era of prosperity for coal-mining in northeastern England was fore- cast by Lord Robens, chairman of the National Coal Board as a result of borings made off the coast with a sea-going boring tower. Holding in his hand a cubic inch of coal extracted from the borer from 2,000 feet below the North Sea some miles offshore, he said the future of the Durham coalfields depended on the deposits of coal which had been located under the ocean bed. He had just returned from a visit to the tower which is unique in the coal industry of Britain, and is not used any- where else in the world. He made this comment: "There is a big era of prosper: ity ahead for these eastern coal pits in Durham. Many men from the exhausting pits in the west of the coalfield will be able to find employment." HUGE RESERVES The unique boring tower has proved without any shadow of doubt that there are available reserves of at least 300 million tons of coal lying under the sea between Hartlepool and the river Tyne. Lord Robens added: "It is 300 million tons of addi- INSIDE YOU tional wealth to Britain, coal of a type very suitable for power stations. If we can now organize our force in Durham to produce this coal by mechanical means and exploit the reserves with greater efficiency, we can se- cure a big customer in the form of an electricity generating sta- tion sited on the coalfield. This could take at full capacity at least five million tons a year for the next 20 years or more." Within the next few weeks, the Durham Divisional Coal Board will have completed a detailed analysis of the whole situation. It will then be able to say whether it could produce coal from this new field at a price which would be economically right for the building of a new power station in Durham. If this could be achieved, Lord Robens stated, he has been per- sonally assured by Sir Chris- topher Hinton of the fullest co- operation from the Electricity Board Lord Robens has given a full explanation of the plans for the new development to representa- tives of the National Miners' Union. Durham coal, the finest coking eoal available in the United Kingdom, had previous- 4 ly been used in large quantities Answers Queries On Tooth Health By BURTON H. FERN, M.D. Check the correct answers: 1. Second (permanent) teeth begin growing at (a) 3 months (b) 3 years (c) 5 years. 2. Most important cavity: maker: (a) saliva (b) sugar (c) germs 3 Most likely to cause cavi- ties: (a) caramel (b) soft drinks (c) bread) Helps prevent cavities: (a) brushing (b) water (c) apples (d) butter. 1. (a) three months. Second teeth begin to grow long be- fore that first baby tooth shines through swollen gums. Fluoride chemicals can help strengthen permanent teeth from this time one. For strong teeth Baby needs plenty of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D. Otherwise, weak points will dot the tooth's enam- el covering. GERMS CAUSE DECAY 2. (¢) Germs. Ed, a mouse, lived on candy but he never had a cavity. He was raised in a special germ-free cage. When Ed was exposed to germs, cavities gnawed through so many teeth, he couldn't gnaw on anything! Germs digest sweets into acid -- lactic acid -- which eats through tooth enamel start cavities. Soon decay spreads through the leathery tooth pulp like termites in a California redwood. Unless your . mouth is dry, saliva will help wash away sweet carbohydrates to prevent cavities. 3. (a) Caramel. Sticky sweets cling to teeth. They bore through enamel as they change into lactic acid. Bread crumbs stick to teeth but never as closely as caramels. Soft drinks help prevent cavities by wash- ing carbohydrates off the teeth and down the throat. PREVENT CAVITIES 4. All four. Brushing after every meal sweeps sticky car- bohydrates off the teeth. Carry a portable travel-brush for use wherever you eat. Twist your wrist to rotate the brush up and down -- and sweep away future decay. If you can't brush, rinse away future decay with a few swallows of clear water. Sink your teeth into an apple and chew away future decay. Chewing an apple cleans almost as well as brushing. Lubricated with butter or margarine, bread and potatoes slide down without sticking to teeth. to BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO Oshawa Male-Voice Choir, con- ducted by James Hurst, came second in its competition class at the CNE.

QUEEN'S PARK Fond Memories Of Major Lewis _ By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There has prob- ably never been a man in this legislature who has enjoyed the long and unique prominence of Major Alex. Lewis, Q.C. Mr. Lewis actually first was active around here in 1893. That's a long, long time ago. Long beforé¢ most of the men around here were born. And he had a continuing con- tact until a few days ago when he died at 86. He had retired in 1954 but he was still prominent in the af- fairs of the house. His book still lays down the rules under which the house operates. SON CARRIES ON And his son carries on as clerk, the position the major filled for 28 years. The Lewis career was distin- guished in several ways. First, he started as a news- paper man. He was one of the last mem- bers of this not-so-humble pro- fession to be an elécted rep- resentative in this chamber. In the 80s journalists often were active politicians. Today they seldom contest of- fice. Major Lewis also was a mem- ber of the house, following the First World War. A Conserva- tive representing a Toronto rid- ing.

"A good story depends al- most entirely upon its ending," says a novelist. Yes, and in quite a few cases, upon whether or not wifey believes it.

If so, the average man is a great deal older than we had been thinking he was.

WAS KINDLY We remember Major Lewis very kindly here. All former members of recent years will also remember him fondly. For more than two decades he was the man who showed them the ropes. He swore them in when they were first elected. And when they askea wnere their office was or bow the prime minister would get hold of them he gently broke the news that they really were only part of a fairly large herd. He was a man who was dis- tinguished by his courtesy. It was not only his former newspaper background that made him a solid friend and a wise adviser to us in the press gallery. He was a gentleman and the same courtesy was extended to everyone. The destiny of some in this life 's to make a very small mark. The fortune of others is to be persons of influence. Major Lewis was among the latter and he carried his trust with a firm and good heart.
