She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Friday, October 13, 1961 U.S. Shows Awareness Of Market Difficulties The Canadian government will get no sympathy from the United States for its pain at the prospect of the United King- dom joining the European Common Market. For years the United States has been urging Britain to join the European Economic Community -- long before Canadian cabinet ministers began their public wailing about the possible effects of such a move on Canadian trade. What the United States was slow to understand was the structure of the Commonwealth and the strength of the economic links between the U.K. and its various parts. The Kennedy adminis- tration, however, seems to be more aware of the Commonwealth problem, although no less enthusiastic than the preceding administration about the EEC partner- ship. Indicative was Senator Fulbright's recent speech before Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. Senator Fulbright urged Common- wealth members to make it as easy as possible for Britain to move forward towards Common Market membership, but at the same time he displayed a new awareness on the part of the United States of the problems involved. Too often in the past British protestations about Commonwealth interests were treated by American observers as mere excuses for hesitation. The bitterness shown towards the Common Market proposal at the meet- ing of Commonwealth finanée ministers early in September may have done much to change the American attitude. A minor political storm blew up in Can- ada over what Messrs. Hees and Fleming were reported to have said at that meet- ing, but other Commonwealth ministers were at least as vehement. Indian offi- cials, for example, claimed that their losses in British markets would be great enough to endanger India's plans for economic development. Not long after- wards, British government spokesmen were rather frantically assuring all con- cerned that if a choice between Com- monwealth and Common Market has to be made, Britain will choose the Com- monwealth. But Commonwealth mems- bers should not be shortsighted. A Britain in constant financial difficulty is not going to benefit anybody. Remembering Engineers Recently the names of Gagarin, Shepard, Grissom and Titov were featured prominently in the world press. All four had been passengers in vehicles designed, built, and operated by others. Despite their relatively passive roles in their respective adventures these men were hailed and feted as though each had performed the miracle of space flight single handedly. But, writes E. C. Easton in The En- gineer, "let us have at least a faint cheer for the engineers who designed, built, launched and controlled the vehicle in which these space passengers rode. Let's be sure that the public knows that the real heroes were engineers, not scientists or astronauts. The scientific principles which govern space flights are few and simple. The engineering appli- cations of those principles to accomplish a successful flight are incredibly complex. "This ability to design a complex vehicle and to predict its performance before it leaves the ground is the most exciting feature of space flight. It is the most sophisticated talent ever possessed by the human race and it is the mark of the engineer." Appeal On Winter Jobs An urgent appeal is being made by Minister of Labor Michael Starr for full support of a winter works program during the coming months to help ease the Dominion's unemployment problem. He feels that through the combined effort of all segments of business, in- dustry and government, that substantial advance was made last year in creating more work during the winter months, but he believes that with further co- operation this year that more progress will be evident. The campaign he is launching, is once again being built around the logic that it pays Canadians -- both consumers and businessmen -- to have things done during the winter when men and mater- ials are available. This year special em- phasis is being placed on home, plant and office improvements, as well as on new buildings, plant extension and housing. The federal government is hopeful that NHA home and farm improvement loans, small business loans and other measures, in addition to greater business activity, will help to keep down unem- ployment this winter. Influences In Buying The Canadian Consumer Survey re- cently sent a questionnaire to 36,649 people from coast to coast asking them what type of advertising influenced their buying most -- Radio, Magazines, Television or Daily Newspapers. The poll resulted: Radio _. Magazines Television Daily Newspapers 61% Did not state _____ 7% At the recent conference of the Cana- dian Daily News Papers' Association in Vancouver, the board directors resolved to transmit that information to member newspapers so that they could, if they wished, compare the national average She Oshawa Times T.

Other Editor's Views SAFETY IN NUMBERS? (New York Times Magazine) The trend (in the U.S.) is to correct the undemocratic ways of nature by lift- ing the retarded and reducing the out- standing to the common level. The belief seems to be that genius will reveal itself of its own accord. This is com- pletely wrong. Most genius entails a great sensitivity and nothing is easier than to discourage it. "If we had spent half as much money and thought on the unusually capable as we have on retarded children, leader- ship would not be such a scarce com- modity. But our trend is to replace creativity by numbers, quality by quan- tity. Our reasoning is analogous to saying that if one woman can produce a child in nine months, nine women will produce it in one. Bible Thought I am the Almighty God, walk before me, and be thou perfect.--Genesis 17:1. It is an all-sufficent God who com- mands us to walk, as in His sight, sin- cerely and uprightly. As we do, He will pour out His blessings upon us abund- antly and continually. BROKEN FIELD RUNNER REPORT FROM U.K. Union Disputes Bother Shipyards By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times NEWCASTLE - UPON - TYNE, England -- There are strong hopes that an end will be made to the demarcation problems which have caused many '"'who- does-what". strikes in the Brit- ish ship-building industry. For years these strikes have been the bugbear of the shipyards, because they have been caused by disputes between conflicting unions, and the management of the yards has been powerless either to prevent them or end them. At the present moment, there has been for 10 weeks a demarcation strike at the large Cammell-Laird shipyards at Birkenhead, caused by a dispute QUEEN'S PARK Leadership Fight Sparks New Ideas By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Everybody may gain out of the PC leadership contest. With the race so close all as- pirants are straining to win voles. And the strain means thought about the problems of the day-- and particularly about those of various localities. ALL PROMISE Northern Ontario, for instance almost certainly will get a break. The Attorney - General, Kelso Roberts, has pledged particular attention tc its problems. The Minister of Energy, Hon. Robert Macaulay then came up with the promise of a northern development council. Other candidates, you may be sure, will follow along. This attention, of course, is good. There are particular prob- lems in many areas which have merited it before now. But it takes a campaign to give the extra stimulus which brings action. AREA QUESTIONS One can foresee now certain other developments which will be brought about by the cam- paign. It is quite likely, for instance, that action will be taken towards building-up the Niagara escarp- ment as a recreational and park area Eastern Ontario should get its highway situation cleaned up in a hurry. Windsor will probably find quick attention being paid to its industrial growth. NO RELIGION Again, there will broad steps. It already has been reported that liquor changes are certain. A stimulus will be given to in- dustrial development generally, and this field will get the posi- tive attention it has been lack- ing. But also there will be the taboo steps. Don't expect much to be said about labor. Although there will not be a large labor vote at the convention there will be just enough to scare off the candi- dates. Ditto religion -- separate schools or religious teaching in the schools. Most, if not all, candidates wili avoid these. be other INSIDE YOU Names Similar Ailments Vary By BURTON H .FERN, MD - What's the difference between osteomyelitis and osteoarthritis? Don't let the names confuse you. The two conditions are giant steps apart. Here's why: Osteomyelitis: A bone infec- tion -- usually near one end. Germs stop off while touring the circulation or creep in through an open weund, A bad bruise often triggers the infection. Osteoarthritis: Joints wearing out after years of pounding. OM: Aflacks mainly the sand- box set. OA: Strikes chiefly the social security crowd -- especially the high-heeled members. OM: Bony abcess eats through surrounding tissue and some- times nearby joints OA: The joint's cartilage cush- fons wear out Tiny bony bumps jut out and someiimes break off, wedging the joint half-open. STRIKES ANYWHERE OM: Hardly ever attacks more than vue place. Prefers the large thigh bone, but may strike anywhere, OA: Constant injury leaves the pine, hips, knees and finger- ips especially vulnerable. Rare- « solos; at least two joints break down at once. OM: Explodes into a violent illness with high fever, muscle spasm, large abcess and un- bearable pain. Resembles a smoldering infection in adults; comes on gradually, with slight fever but no pain, until late. Surrounding muscles eventually wither. OA: Doesn't make you ill. No muscle spasm or wasting. Joints slowly crumble. Mild pain be- comes severe if bony spurs pinch nerves. OM: Giant doses of antibiotic germ-killers can wipe out most infections. The surgeon's scalpel can cut abcess open to drain in- fection. SURGERY, TOO OA: Elastic bandages, heating lamps, liniments and aspirin all help. Surgeons can scrape off bony spurs and clean joint. OM: Prevention: Erase all in- fections. Good dental care. And consult doctor for any bone pain. OA: Prevention: Lighten the load on joints. Watch your weight. Don't live high all the time -- save 3-inch spiked heels for special occasions! Note: Neither condition mimics the other. Any resems blance is purely coincidental between the boilermakers' and shipwrights' unions. Hope for bringing such situa- tions to an end was seen in a Hl meeting of the leaders of 17 jj trades unions involved in the il shipbuilding industry, #8! Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. The pur- pose of held in the meeting was to bring about a merger between the boilermakers and ship- wrights' unions, which would mean the end of "who-does- what" strikes of these unions. The meeting lasted five hours, and at the end it was reported that good progress had been made. A formal statement is- sued said: "The object of the meeting was to consider as a prelimin- ary step the project of amalga- mating the two societies. Go d progress. was made, and a fur- ther meeting has been ar- ranged for a date before the end of September." It was noted, however, that the unions did not discuss the ten-week-old demarcation strike at Cammell-Laird's shipyard at Birkenhead, After the meeting Victor Fea- ther, assistant general secre- tary of the Trades Union Con- gress, said: "It is a most difficult and complex subject ,but from the point of view of the future of the industry both societies rec- ognize that there is a great deal to be said in favor of the prin- ciple of amalgamation. If amalgamation is achieved, it would be well within two years." OTTAWA REPORT Regular Session Timetable Needed By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA---'"After which," re- ported the Hansard record of Parliamentary proceedings, "His Excellency the Governor General was pleased to close the session of Parliament of the Do- minion with the following speech: 'Honourable gentlemen of the Senate: gentlemen of the House of Commons; in relieving you from further attendance after an unusually long and laborious session of parliament, I desire to convey to you my best thanks for the assiduity you have shown in the discharge of your onerous duties. The session now closing will long be remembered not only for its great length That long and laborious ses- sion was not the one just com- pleted. It was the 38th session of our federal parliament, which was held 58 years ago, and which held pride of place as our parliament's longest session un- til its record of 155 sitting days was toppled by 174 sitting days of this year's session. The session just ended on 4 ed This is very clear from an an- alysis which the statisticians have not yet volunteered, show- ing the make-up of our parlia- ment's ten longest sessions since Confederation. After the two mentioned, these range down- wards from the 152 sitting days of 1956 to the 127 sitting days of 1959. They include 1998--148 days; 1960--146 days; 1955-140 dys; 1954--139 days; 1944--136 days; and 1917--135 days. Thus the past eight years have yielded six of our ten longest sessions. The only two years among the past eight which are excluded from this list of our ten longest sessions are 1957 and 1958, in both of which a general election was held. It might be argued that this proves that politicians can finish their work more quickly if they have to; but that is not just comment, since the two elections had the effect of interposing a third session held partly in 1957 and partly in 1958, in addition to the regular ses- sion in each of those years. Thus the past eight years have conclusively shown that we are now in an age where parliament must work consistently for longer periods than in former years. To meet this new situa- tion, there should certainly be some planned periods of parlia- mentary session. It should, for example, be agreed by all par- ties and announced that parlia- ment will always adjourn on the Friday before the 'ast Saturday in June; and will reassemble, if necessary to complete 'mfin- ished business, on the Wednes- day after Labor Day. HAPHAZARD HARDSHIPS The present uncertainty is a grave inconvenience to MPs themselves, especially to the many young ones with school. age families; it disrupts the an- nual summer holiday for them all. And an unconsidered by-pro- duct is tht the uncertainty as to when parliament will adjourn precludes the many other toilers around Parliament Hill from planning their own holidays, with attendant inconvenience and needless expense. To minimise the cost of travel- ling for MPs from far away, a reasonable regime would be to meet early in January, break for Easter, break for the sum- mer, and return in the fall if necessary to complete unfin- ished business. If, however, parliamentarians wish to shorten tneir parliamen- tary year, the remedy is obvious and lies in their own hands--do not improperly read pre-written essays as a substitute for live and lively debate. Sept. 28 was more than ten months earlier -- on Nov. 17 of last year. Our grand- fathers' marathon was packed into a shorter period, March 12 to Oct. 24. And the record shows that men were men in those sit- tings, carrying on their sharp debates regularly until near midnight and often until after 1 p.m. PLANNED DATE The 106th session of our par- liament was by no means a fa- mous session. But it did serve to underline the overdue need for Ottawa to adopt a regular timetable of parliamentary ses- sions.
