She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Queen's Ghana Visit Should Be Cancelled British newspapers are unanimous in the opinion that the forthcoming visit of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth to Ghana should be cancelled. They believe -- and we agree with them -- that the Queen might be in grave danger during her visit because of possible demonstra- tions against the president of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah. It is extremely unlikely that anyone in Ghana would want to harm the Queen, but as the London Times says, "she will... appear in public with the president and this may offer to anyone with designs on the president an oppor- tunity which he has been at conspicuous pains of late not to vouchsafe." The Queen could be harmed, during an at- tempt to injure or kill Nkrumah. The Manchester Guardian observes that since his return from the Soviet Union last month, Nkrumah has not appeared in public "and it seems at least possible he is afraid to do so." But Nkrumah will almost certainly have to make a public appearance with the Queen during her visit. "If there is any Teeter-Totter A study of the presidential speeches of John F. Kennedy discloses that he favors what John O'Brien in the Detroit News calls teeter-totter rhetoric to make his major points stick in the minds of the listener. This form of writing and speak- ing has a long honorable lineage in En- glish rhetoric. Abraham Lincoln pro- vided an excellent example when he said: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be the master." The technique is to express one thought in the opening phrase and an exactly opposed thought in the close. The sentence balances like a teeter-totter with the conjunctive acting as a fulcrum. In its perfect form, the balance is exact. President Kennedy uses balanced and unbalanced or almost balanced sent- ences. His favorite to date is this thought variously expressed: Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate." It is probably the best remembered statement, with one exception, from his inaugural address of last January. He put the same thought into stronger words when he recently told the United Nations general assembly: "We shall never negotiate out of fear and we shall never fear to negot- iate." The one Kennedyism that will un- doubtedly get into the anthologies and which most Americans can quote today is this, from his January address: "Ask not what your country will Beaver And For some time, Canadian National Railways property has been sporting a wiggly white line as an indication mark. It Looks like a figure "3" supine. The Edmonton Journal is not impressed, and comments: The railway's publicists say the wiggle--or squiggle--spells CN. It's all part of an effort to show, as one official put it, that the CNR is "not out of style." She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher ond Genera! Manager C. GWYN KINSEY.

The British government so far has rejected these suggestions, on the ground that cancellation of the trip would have "a most serious effect" on British- Ghanaian relations. The effect would be far more serious if the Queen suffered personal injury. Morever, cancellation of the trip could serve as a public rebuke to Nkrumah, who hag been acting more and more like a fav dictator-- or the man he fawned on during his visit to the Soviet Union, Nikita Khrush- chev. Conversely, the visit could create the impression in Ghana and Africa that the United Kingdom approves of Nkru- mah's antics. Nkrumah has every reason to be afraid. He has been tossing political op- ponents into jail, often without charge; he has virtually destroyed freedom of speech and of the press. He made virulent and unwarranted attacks on Britain and the West. Why pander to him? Rhetoric do for you; astk what you can do for your country." Here are other teeter-totter epi- gtams from inauguration day: "United there is little we cannot do; divided there is little: we can do." "If the free society cannot help the many who are poor, it can never save the few who are rich." At the UN the president advanced his ideas in these terse summations, a- mong others: "Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind." "For we prefer world law in an age of self-determination, to world war in the age of mass extermination." The technique of which Mr. Ken- nedy is so fond has some absolute values and some potential dangers. Over on the benefit side is the ten- dency of the epigram to stay in mind, to be memorable.After long passages of more routinely expressed ideas, the short statement expressed as a sort of play on words pulls the listener up short and commands his complete attention. He feels that he has been told something of importance and he is able to grasp the thought thus so simply expressed. The form is useful, too, in ending a se- quence of expressions dealing with a single subject. It puts a natural period to a section of the complete speech. Potential dangers include overuse, which tends to acquaint the listener with the mechanics of the device. It then loses its vital, shocking, or invigorating value and this immediate recognition could lead to boredom. Squiggles Apparently it is felt in some quarters that legibility is out of style. An announcement from the CNR's Edmonton office says'that the CNR "symbol" has won a top award in a anadian typography contest. The an- nouncement quotes the judge as say- ing with apparent approval, that there were some "splendid pieces" in the com- petition "and noticeable absence of maple leaves, beavers and Niagara Falls." This seems to imply that it is a good thing for Canadian identification marks to be devoid of "maple leaves, beavers and Niagara Falls." Perhaps we could do without the 'falls, but maple leaves and beavers have been associated with Canada for a hundred years. Many Canadians may not think scuiggles or wiggles a satisfactory sub- stitute for them. Despite those who fear to be "out of style," beavers and maple leaves may be associated with Canada long after the Canadian National Rail- ways latest squiggle has been forgotten. Other Editors' Views AMATEUR IN SCIENCE (Aldous Huxley on the BBC) The kind of assumption among cer- tain scientists that it is impossible to understand anything about science unless one has gone right into it is rather like saying that it is impossible to know anything about whales without being Jonah.

JONES READERS' VIEWS Denies Remarks About Dymond Dear Sir: As a former resident of the area served by your paper, I would appreciate your assist- ance in correcting any impres- sion that may have been created by the false attribution to me of a comment on my good friend, Dr. Dymond This appeared in the Toronto Star of Tuesday, October 17. I attach copy of my letter to the editor of the Star which contains my denial of the error. My. admiration for. Dr. Dymond, personally, profession- ally and politically, is in no way changed since my pleasant asso- ciation with him a few years ago in the affairs of the Con- servative Party in Ontario Rid- ing. Contrary to the implication made, he is one of those who contributed to my education in the "'art" of politics. ALLISTER GROSART. Ottawa. Mr. Grosart wrote to the To- ronto paper: In your issue of Tuesday, Oc- tcber 17, in an article by Ron Haggart on Dr. Matt Dymond, I am quoted as saying: "He knows a lot about the science of politics, but nothing about the art." OTTAWA REPORT reso John And Joey Enjoy Repartee By PATRICK NICHOLSON In stark contrast to the need- less and often petty personal bitterness between political rivals in Ottawa, the harmonious meetings between longtime po- litical foes at Newfoundland Uni- versity are still being talked about Premier Joey Smailwood, Newfoundland's "happy little guy with the big bow tie' as he was dubbed during his vigorous and successful campaign for Confederation, was host-in-chief at the opening of the new cam- pus at his provincial university. He had invited an array of dis- tinguished and talented guests probably unmatched in Cana- dian history. These included the presidents of all 39 major Canadian uni- versities; Mrs. Eleanor Roose- velt who, reputedly for a fee of $3,000 which she most gener- ously promptly handed over to charity, delivered the brief dedi- cation speech; Roy Thomson who, having been installed as the new chancellor of the uni- versity, officiated in bestowing honorary degrees: and Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who of course ranked number one among those present and prop- erly received Newfoundland's staggering number one welcome from unprecedented crowds of well-wishers lining the streets. BRILLIANT DEBATER At the state banquet following the ceremonial handing over of the keys to the new campus, Newfoundland's Liberal premier proposed the health of Canada's Conservative prime minister. The 840 guests heard those two leaders, between whom there has passed previously more rough talk than between any other two public figures in Can- ada today, pat each other on the back with paws which barely showed the claws. They are, of course, both witty and quick-thinking impromptu speakers. 'Their exchanges and public utterances criss-crossed through a day and a _ half, reaching their climax with two major speeches at the state ban- quet. It was a joy to hear; and what a startling contrast to listen to two true debaters after month following dreary month of essay-reading in our federal House of Commons. Joey left no stone unturned in his endeavours to coin original phrases and' shun the cliche so beloved of second-class public speakers. John for his part made the most of Joey's one fumble in introducing biblical al- lusions, for nobody will best Mr. Diefenbaker in that field. Joey is believed to be nearing the end of his political career. He has rightly earned the grati- tude of all Newfoundlanders for laasding tham fram ienletad naw. erty into confederated prosper- ity, just as Mr. Diefenbaker has earned their even greater grati« tude for improving Newfound. land's lot within confederation as mapped by the former Libe eral federal government. Joey, having made history, now wants to write it--perhaps to ensure that his name is not overlooked. AND NOW SENTIMENT Thus it seemed that, nearing his politicai curtain, Joey was in fairness paying tribute as due to the prime minister. So glows ing was that tribute that Joey interjected a reference to their political disagreements. "Saul has not become Paul," he warned. '"'There has been no conversion. I cannot say more without making you really get suspicious." Mr. Diefenbaker admitted that he had just listened to "revela- tions". "You were afraid somes one might get suspicious. I did." And he added amid torrents of laughter "If he had continued in that vein, Saul's indeed would have been by comparison an amateur performance." Mr. Smallwood alluded to that stretch of Newfoundland history, between discovery attributed to John Cabot and Confederation attributed to Joey Smallwood, as "from John to Joey'. He re- ferred to needless differences between "Joey and John'-- meaning John Diefenbaker. And he had this neatly capped by the prime minister's reference to the span of Canadian history be- tween "John A." and "John G.", meaning our first and our latest prime ministers, both Conservative. The impact of that oratorical ping-pong was an object lesson worth note by our MPs. WISDOM PARAGRAPHICAL "A bear will let you alone if you will let him alone," says a zoologist. We'll be glad to meet any bear 'more than half way (figuratively speaking) in this respect--we'll let him alone first. One of the worst effects of an atomic war would be the dis- integration of the "thin veneer of civilization." You are remarkably originals your friends are somewhat ec- centric; your enemy is an out and-out screwball. Judges are a heartless lot. Although a man patiently exe plained to a judge that he beat his wife only when she needed it, the judge had him thrown inte iail At no time have I made any such statement to Mr. Ron Hag- gart or anyone else. If this com- ment was. made to Mr. Haggart, it was made by some person other than myself; if not, it could only be a sheer fabrica- tien. Furthermore, I have never in- dulged in this platitude about the science and the art of politics, I have at no time expressed personal views about the qual- ities of any of the contestants for the Ontario Leadership, and it would be quite improper for me to put forward any views, either for or against, any of the outstanding men whose names will ge before the Convention. Dr Dymond is, however, a personal friend of long standing, and J had the honor to succeed him as President of the Pro- gressive Conservative Associa- tion for the federal riding of On- tario some years ago. I ask that an immediate and prominent correction be made of this completely false attribu- tion. ALLISTER GROSART. INSIDE YOU Some Facts About Acid In System By BURTON H. FERN, MD Doubting Thomas: Doc, I've got an acid condition! M.D.: What's that? D.T.: You know -- too much acid in the system. M.D.: That's almost impos- sible. What are the acids any- way? \ DT. I don't know -- what? M.D.: Most chemicals con- tain atoms or atom groups married to each other. The groom -- usually a metal -- marries a female like chloride, sulfate or bicarbonate. He gives her one of his negative electri- cal charges for a wedding- band. D.T.: So? M.D.: In sclution the couple separates -- with the wife still carrying that extra negative charge. Mr. Metal's missing BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Rev. W. H. Reid, minister of Knox Presbyterian Church here, accepted a call to St. Andrew's Church, Quebec City. Junior Farmers of Ontario were guests of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club at a_ banquet held at the township hall, Col- umbus. Senior Public Health Nurse, Miss Isabel Pringle of Oshawa, enlisted in the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps for the duration of the war. Rev. Gordon A. Sisco, general secretary of the United Church, was guest preacher at both services when St. Andrew's United Church, Oshawa, .ob- served its 108th anniversary. Oshawa Kinsmen Club Jam- boree was officially opened and the attendance prize, which was drawn by Dr. C. O. Miller, President of the Rotary Club, was won by Miss Nellie Keetch of 277 Nassau street. Oshawa Branch of Canadian Legion appointed a Rehabilita- tion Committee to assist the discharged war veteran headed by A. J. Graves. Oshawa Kinsmen Club was represented among the 85 Kins- men Clubs across Canada when a third shipment of milk was purchased for the bombed areas of Britain, An announcement was made from the city clerk's office that 189 assessment appeals had been received. charge shows he's married. D.T.: What about acids? M.D.: Instead of metal, the man in the acid family is al- ways hydrogen. The more hydro- gen present, the more acid the solution. D.T.: How about acids and metals inside the body? M.D.;: In body fluids, sodium, matched with chloride, sulfate, bicarbonate and phosphate. D.T.: What causes an acid system? M.D.: Any shortage of mas- culine metals or excess of negatively - charged female groups. Extra hydrogen can substitute for the missing me- tal, making the system more acid. But normal kidneys quick- ly pour out excess acids along with hydrogen. D.T.: Sodium and potassium actually protect against acidity, They replace hydrogen. M.D.: Right. And those nega- tively-charged sulfates, bicarbo- nates and chlorides are acids. A When metal's scarce, hydrogen has to suppert them. -DT.: What about acid fruits? M.D.: The body quickly burns fruit acids, leaving ex- tra sodium and potassium in the system. Not eating makes you acid. DT.: How's that? M.D.: You have to burn body fat, which turns into acids that circulate around before they're destroyed. Without in- sulin to burn sugar, diabetes- sufferers use up fats, too. Ac- cumulating acids causes serious sickness -- not vague symp- toms. THEY'RE USEFUL D.T.: Sweets help fight ill ness? M.D.: Right -- they prevent acid complications. Fruits and juices battle acidity with so- dium, potassium and = fruit sugar. D.T.:. This acid talk has given me a headache. M.D.: Here, take this acid-- acetylsalicylic acid! You call it aspirin.
