She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Impartial Body Pledged\ Ie For Revision Of Ridings Prime Minister Diefenbaker has pro- mised that an indépendent commission will be set up to revise the boundaries of federal ridings, a job that has been done in the past by a parliamentary committee. The revision is undertaken after decennial census, and we hope that Mr. Diefenbaker takes immediate steps to make good his promise, in order that the commission can get to work as soon as the 1961 census information is avail- able. Population changes indicated by the census figures are supposed to be the guide -in the revision of constituency boundaries, but all too often in the past the parliamentary committees have used the decennial revision as an excuse for adjusting boundaries to suit the party in power. The committes, naturally, have always been weighed with a majority of members of Parliament representing the party in power. By judicious snip- ping of this riding or the expanding of that riding, the committee have fre- quently been able to create "safe" seats for the governing party. The wonder is that Mr. Diefenbaker has not moved before 'this to establish the impartial commission -- a none partisan body chosen from outside the ranks of Parliament. He spoke vigorously against the committee method of revision when he was a member of the Opposi- tion -- and with good reason, because he once had the riding he represented wiped clean from the electoral map. The job of revising the riding boun- daries is not a simple one, and a non partisan commission will have the very difficult task -of straightening out the clutter left by the parliamentary com- mittees. There has beén, for example, a deliberate weighing of votes in favor of rural ridings. There are several urban ridings which have upwards of 75,000 voters, and there are rural ridings with less than 25,000; the weight of a rural vote is, therefore, greater than that of an urban vote. In earlier days, when roads were few and transportation difficult, there was a practical reason for such an arrangement, but there are few constitu- encies in which it could be justified today. Surge Of An Old Idea The panic that has been engendered in some quarters in Canada by Britain's application for membership in the European Common Market perhaps is founded on lack of knowledge of what the ECM really is. Speaking in Toronto recently, W. T. Aitken, Conservative member of Britain's Commons, described the plan's background and lauded it as "the miracle of our time, the resurgence of Europe." "Out of a soil seemingly poisoned for ever by bitterness and hatred and un- forgettable crimes, as well as humiliation and defeat," said Mr. Aitken, "has come not only an astonishing renaissance of the human spirit, but the powerful, surging growth of an idea -- as old as history -- the idea of European unity. The Romans nearly pulled it off, Na- poleon tried it with a bludgeon and so did Hitler. On both these last occasions Britain strenuously-and successfully op- posed it. . "Now it looks as if another French- man, using a far mightier weapon than the guns and trampling of conquest -- the weapon of a great ideal -- will suc- ceed where conquerors of the past have failed. I refer to that remarkable, dedi- cated Frenchman -- Monsieur Jean Monnet. What he did was to fire the imagi- nation of the Americans after the war. It was mainly because of Jean Monnet that the Americans attached one simple condition to Marshall Aid: that it should be used to promote the maximum possible economie cooperation in Europe. So, fostered by American generosity and Russian menace, a few dedicated able European statesmen took the first steps toward creating a new Europe. But the major impetus was provided by none other than Sir Winston Churchill. People do not always realize that some of the things this great man did and inspired after the war were just as important and far-reaching as some of the decisions he made during his war-time leadership. In that famous speech at Fulton, Mo., he geve the first warning to the Western World of what Russian intentions redlly were. Again at Zurich in 1946, he ad- vocated a kind of a United States of Europe -- a political and economic union of the great nations of Western Europe so often divided in bloody cone flict... All that Her Majesty's Govern ment has done so far is to adopt the necessary -- and I must admit the some- what misleading procedure -- of fore mally applying for admission to the Common Market under the terms laid down in the Treaty of Rome. They must do that in order to negotiate at all, That is all that the U.K. Parliament gives them the right to do. That Parlia- ment has never let the Commonwealth down -- it does not intend to let you down. If you have faith in us, as we have faith in you -- I am sure things will come out all right for us all." Superior's Pink Salmon West Coast pink salmon, whose migra- tions far out into the ocean and ability to return to the exact spot where they were born have long been a great mys- tery, are. being just as mysterious in Lake Superior, They might even be- come our newest game fish at a time when the lake trout population is dwind- ling from attacks by the lamprey eel.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES Delivered by carriers im Oshawa, Whitby, Aljox, Bowmanville, Brooklin, Port Perry, Prince Circulation for the issue of November 30, 1961 18,006 gorbuscha, also called the humpback salmon, arrived this past fall at the mouth of the Poplaf River just over the international border in that state, Other runs were reported as early as 1959 at which time 19-inch specimens weighing nearly two pounds were caught and posi- tively identified. ~~ Inquiries into the possible origin of these fish revealed no stocking of any Pacific salmon by any agency concerned with Lake Superior in the last 40 years and only the department of lands and forests office in Port Arthur has been able to shed any light on the mystery. Apparently in 1955-56 eyed eggs of pink salmon were hatched in the hat- chery there and stocked as fry and finger- lings in tributaries in Hudson Bay. In the process of transferring some of the fingerlings from the hatchery to a sea- plane it was known that probably less than 100 escaped into Thunder Bay, the Port Arthur News-Chronicle reports. ~ Tt is now considered that the present Tuns on the American side are com- posed of the progeny of the escapees. This is consistent with the life cycle of the West Coast populations which re- turn from the sea to their parent streams to spawn and die. The bulletin Goints out that if a substantial and gustaining population of pink salmon' is established in Lake Superior, it will be a remarkable thing indeed, for {his species is considered by fisheries sci€ntists to be the least likely of all Pacific salmon to succeed in fresh water, a ay "(3 \I! @ \\ REPORT FROM U.K. Not All Pigeons Boost Business By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The flocks of pigeons in Trafalgar Square constitute one of the interest- ing sights of London. To go to the famous square and feed the pigeons is a "must" for all tourists. visiting the city, and even for people coming to Lon- don from other parts of the country. Every day, unless the weather is really bad, the Square is crowded with people, young and old alike, taking a delight in the- antics of the pigeons, which climb on their hands, fly up to rest on heads and shoulders, and _ provide amateur photographers with many interesting pictures. At the same time, the Trafal- gar Square pigeons provide a livelihood for quite a number of people. One group consists of professional photographers who have many busy days taking the city council decided some- thing must be done to get rid of the pigeons which were mak- ing the civic square their home, and producing a_ Trafalgar Square situation on a smaller scale. The council in Plymouth has announced a plan which it believes will keep the birds A away from that area. Council- pictures of children in the midst of the fluttering pigeons. Then there are the grain sell- ers, selling little cans of grain so that the visitors can feed the pigeons. They do a big busi- ness on a fine day, selling for sixpence the cans of mixed grains, and at a handsome profit. NUT ALWAYS POPULAR So Trafalgar Square always has its flock of hungry pigeons, and although it costs the council of the city of Westminster some- thing to keep the Square clean- ed up every day, there are no objections to them being there. This is not the case in some other places where civic squares have become the habi- tat of flocks of pigeons. In some places they are looked upon as an abominable nuis- ance, causing damage to build- ings and expense to civic authorities. In Plymouth, for instance, Canadians To Consume Huge Weight CP CROSS-CANADA SURVEY By MEL SUFRIN Canadian Press Staff Writer Dinner tables across Canada are expected to groan under. the weight of more than 50,- 000,000 pounds of turkey during the Christmas season. Along with tradition, the an- nual feast is getting a boost from a plentiful supply and lower prices than a year ago,. A cross-Canada survey by The Canadian Press shows a drop of from four to 14 cents a pound. Depending on whether you live close to the source of supply, you're likely to pay from 39 to 47 cents for turkeys weighing 18 pounds or more; 45 to 54 cents for the smaller ones. The estimate of the amount of turkey likely to be consumed from Christmas Day through New Year's Day comes from G. K. Samis of St. Thomas, Ont., secretary-manager of the Canadian Turkey Federation. RAISING MORE He says production, across the country is up about 30 per cent to between 135,000,000 and 140,000,000 pounds this year and that about 51,560,000 pounds of that will find its way into the oven during the festive season. Canadians are also eating more turkey generally, having consumed about 30,000,000 pounds more already this year than at the same time a year ago, ' Mr. Samis says the experts. are guessing that Canadians are putting it away at an aver- age of about eight pounds a year per person, well above the figure in the United States, the worla's top turkey - eating country; Throughout the year the in- dustry has carried on an "eat more turkey' campaign through fall fairs and various advertising media. It doesn't bother with any organized ad- vertising tffort. at Christmas, however, because tradition doesn't need any help. FROZEN BIRDS Mr. Samis says the only ap- parent trend in turkeys is "growing acceptance" of frozen birds. "Fewer old-timers say that the fresh fowl is the only dependable kind." The big production increases are in Ontario and on_ the Prairies this year and they're reflected in the fact that the lowest prices are in those re- gions. In Ontario a pre - dressed frozen turkey in the 10-to-16- Of Turkey pound range goes for 45 cents compared with about 49 a year ago. The 18 - pound - and-over birds bring 39 cents as against 51 last year. lors condemned them as a nuis- ance and said they are causing damage to buildings around the square, But even in Plymouth, the pigeons have their friends. One of them, Miss Winifred Vercoe, started a "Save the Pigeons" petition after the council an- nounced they were to be de- stroyed, and over 1,600 people signed it in quick order... So perhaps the Plymouth pigeons may earn a reprieve. PROBLEM AT STATIONS British Railways are finding~ pigeon flock concentrating on their stations creating an intol- erabie situation, as 'it is put officially. At several of the larger stations in Britain -- and I have seen them.in London and in Edinburgh and. Aber- deen -- signs have been placed in prominent positions, urging the public not to feed the pigeons, in the interests of pub- lic health, sanitation and safety. At one railway station re- cently, it was reported in the London press, a pigeon-shooting bee was held, with members of the staff using light shot- guns to get rid of the birds. This did arouse some unfavor- able comment, but the answer of the railway officials is that these birds are multiplying at such a rate that they consti- tute a menace when they gather in their hundreds on railway platforms -- encouraged by the people, particularly 'children, who like to feed them. GALLUP POLL Voters Not Interested In Dief's 'Ism' Issue By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion The choice between Free En- terprise and Socialism named as a main platform in the next Federal election by Mr. Diefen- baker, appears to fall with a dull thud in the minds of many voters. Half the electorate cannot find any words to describe either principle. Moreover when they are asked to choose between favoring one or the other in an election -- a bare majority picks Free Enterprise -- but al- most as many say they don't know which they'd choose in an election campaign, or select Socialism. The average ten voters divide, broadly, with five favoring Free Enterprise, four with no choice at all, and one selecting Social- ism as the principle they like best. Regional interests and occu- pational segments show con- trasts of opinion.. In brief al- most half the Quebec voters can't make a choice between the issues, and a _ minority chooses Free Enterprise. Ontario lines up closely with the nation- al average. Westerners are much more opinionated than elsewhere, so that both Free Enterprise and Socialism reach high points of favor. Farmers are more likely to favor Socialism than other work- ers. Indecision in all groups is at a very high level, rising a- "mong Labor groups to all half the voters in this mood. Interviewers having explained to the men and women selécted for questioning in all provinces, that Mr. Diefenbaker had said the next Federal election would be fought on Free Enterprise versus Socialism, asked how they would describe each one; moet, as already reported by the Poll, wouldn't even try. Next question: "If this were the main issue in the next Federal Election which would you be most in- clined to favor, other things be- ing equal -- Socialism or Free Enterprise?"

PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM It is wondered what Jules Verne, who wrote, "Around,the World in 806 Days", would think if he could know that the time for such a trip has been reduced to 88 minutes. "For a long moment they were breathless with the beauty of the moonlit vista -- and not a word did they speak."--From a novel. That's plausible. Peo- ple can't speak without breath- ing. , "Summer is four and one-half days longer than winter," says an astronomer. This is doubtless due to the fact that heat causes expansion. The man who places a woman on a pedestal runs considerable oe! of getting kicked in the 'ace, beneath the brain controls thy- roid, adrenal and sex gland secretion. Like a thermostat, it turns each gland on and off to maintain a steady hormone supply. CHEMICAL SIGNALS It uses chemical signals -- a different one for each gland, If your circulation lacks thyroid hormone, the. pituitary instant- ly sends out chemical signals to whip up thyroid activity. - 3. False. The pituitary senses this. extra hormone and with- holds its chemical signal. Thy- roid activity slows until the ex- cess levels oft. You can't take an overdose 'unless you gulp down more hor- one than the gland normally manufactures. The pituitary seems to lose control of slug- gish glands. With no thermo- stat, the tiniest overdose can now explode into big trouble, 4. True. Sensing the extra cor- tisone -- an adrenal hormone -- the pituitary signals for an ad- renal gland shutdown. Cells grow too lazy to produce enough adrenal hormone if you should suddenly stop taking ~ cortisone. TAPER OFF SLOWLY You have to taper the dose slowly until these cells limber up. Injections of ACTH -- the pituitary's adrenal - stimulating © hormone -- help speed new pro- duction. 5. False. As the ovaries auto- matically slow down, pituitary signals flood the circulation. These pituitary chemicals trig- ger sweats and hot flushes. Hormone pills fool the pituitary into slowing down -- postponing but not preventing, the change that must come. Don't flare up when some amateur medico claims the trouble's all in your head.
