She Oshawa Cines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Election Results Not Reassuring To Tories The five by-elections hejd in provin- cial ridings last week all indicated the same thing: a drop in Conservative sup- port and gains by both the Liberals and the successor to the CCF, the New Democratic Party. The big. question remaining to be answered is: Do the results indicate that the provincial Conservatives are slipping, or did they reflect the reduced support of the federal Conservatives indicated by public opinion surveys in Ontario during the past several months? The answer could be "yes" to both parts of the question. Certainly Prime Minister Diefenbaker must be thinking about the by-election results as he ponders the timing of a general election. To win that election he must get solid support in Ontario to make up for a certain loss of seats in Quebec; the collapse of the Union Nationale and the resurgence of Liberal fortunes inspired by the Lesage adminis- tration have created a chilly political climate for the Conservatives in Quebec. But the by-elections showed that the public opinion surveys were not far off the mark, and Mr. Diefenbaker will need to do some effective campaigning in Ontario between now and the general election if he expects to carry this province. Premier Robarts, too, must be ponders ing the results. He has not been provin- cial leader long enough to bear any vlarge measure of responsibility for the drop in Conservative support -- although there will. be many who will speculate about what might have happened had Mr. Frost been around. Still, there are obvious lessons in the results for the Conservatives, and Mr. Robarts is not likely to forget them. For one thing, Liberal strength is clearly building, and the NDP, despite its failure in--Toronto Beaches, cannot be dismissed as a vote- getter, For another, the time is past when the Conservatives can nominate political hacks and expect to win; the "pocket boroughs" are disappearing and the usefulness of the ham-handed ma- chine operator is declining. Mr. Robarts has more time than Mr. Diefenbaker for the repair of political fences, but he cannot delay his start on the job. Coexistence Fallacies Khrushchev has not won full Com- munist acceptance of his doctrine of competitive but peaceful co-existence, even in the Soviet Union; the curious Molotov affair would indicate that there are still some fairly powerful Stalinists left in the Soviet hierarchy. In the non- Communist world, however, Khrush- chev's propaganda has had the effect of convincing a lot of people that com- petitive co-existence cannot be avoided, which is simply acceptance of the Soviet challenge. To accept this challenge is to accept the Marxist assumption that the world can be divided simply into Communist and Capitalist groups; in fact, the social systems of the world cannot be so simply and conveniently packaged. The ac- ceptance also gives the appearance of truth to the Marxist doctrine that there is permanent and unbridgeable gap between the Communist and Capitalist groups, and the struggle between the two groups must inevitably end in the victory of the one and the utter des- truction of the other; in fact, social systems in both the Communist and non-Communist areas of the world tend Visions And The Northwest Territories cover 1,304,903 of Canada's 3,851,800 square miles. They have a population of 23,000 -- or roughly one person to every 57 square miles, And that one person is most likely to be an Indian or an Eskimo. The more northerly settlements can be supplied by sea for an average of only six weeks of the year, from the beginning 'of August to the middle of September. Unless they have runways -- which few accept th DEW Line sites do -- they are completly inaccessible by air for several weeks at the Arctic's two climatic periods of the year: break- up and freeze-up. It is against that background that the work of the Northwest Territories Council, has to be judged the Montreal Star points out. The council, with four elected and five federally-appointed members, is a legislature in the earliest embryo stage. She Oshawa Tines T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Acceptance also means. agreement with the Khrushchev belief that diver- sity must man rivalry, and that material success is the only standard and value of victory in the struggle between the rivals. British MP Christopher Mayhew declares that the non-Communist world should take its stand on the conception of "co-existence plus" -- plus ideological co-existence, practical international co- operation, genuinely free East-West con- tacts. He writes: "Th Marxist challenge of competitive co-existence, as preached by the world's Communist parties is unscientific, steriie and dangerous. Instead of taking up the challenge in the name of freedom, as they are so often urged to do, the non- Communist countries should denounce the challenge in the name of peace and sanity. In its place they should advance a new conception of co-exis- tence, aiming at ideological disarma- ment." Reality It is still groping its way toward an understanding of its own purpose. As much as anything, that purpose is perhaps to reconcile the elemental -- and sometimes picayune-seeming -- immediate needs of that one individual to the 57 square miles with the political, social and economic future of more than one-third of the area of Canada. Faced by such a task it is easy to turn to visions--high-rise concrete build- ings instead of shacks; planned commu- nities; submarine tankers to carry oil beneath the ice from the untapped fields of the Arctic Archipelago. The fact is that in dealing with the problems of a handful of individuals in a vast land you have to start at the individual level. Teach him how bet- ter to catch Arctic char, and ship it to the markets of Montreal and New York; give his children the rudiments of the education he never had; show him how best to use his family allowance -- or his relief payments. What happns to premature visions is illustrated, to some extent, by the shining community of Inuvik, opened with much fanfare last summer by Prime Minister Diefenbaker. It was built' to replace Aklavik on the other side of the Mac- kenzie delta, as the majn\centre of the western Arctic. It was byilt at immense cost, with a complex system of heated ducts to carry water, central heat and sewage above the permanently frozen ground. It has fine schools, a hospital, federal buildings, multi-colored apart- ment blocks. It is a good place to live -- if you are a civil servant. If you are an Indian or an Eskimo you can have a shack with outside plumbing -- or you can drift back across the delta, as hundreds have done, to beaten-up old Aklavik slowly sinking into the permafrost. Not because you prefer Aklavik, but be- cause the muskrat are over that side, and by trapping muskrat you can live after a fashion, MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL... YOUR HEALTH Early Treatment For Agonizing Tic By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: I have been waiting for an article about tic-dol-a-rue. I am a sufferer of the pesky thing. Does an alcohol injection for it throw your head out of kilter, affecting eyesight and hearing, and causing aches and pains? What about dilantin pills? You write about so' many things the average person never heard about that I'm sure you would include tic-dol-a-rue. Mrs. A. R. Fifty or even 20 years ago I'd have written a quite different column, emphasizing the things that imperiled us or hurt us then. I'd have pounded away at getting safe city water sup- plies, vaccinating against small- pox, giving babies Vitamins C and D, and so on. Society has learned its les- sons well in many such re- gards, so it's time to move on to other problems. We no longer die in youth from smallpox. In- stead, we grow to an age at which entirely different things bother us--like your problem. Your spelling follows the sound of this ailment very, well: the real spelling, however, is tic douloureux. It is French. Tic douloureux is a form of neuralgia, affecting a main REPORT FROM U.K. Paper-Back Boom Collapse In Sight By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON --Faced with the old trading problem of too many books chasing too few custo- mers, the five-year boom which has been prevailing in the sale of- paper-back books is on the verge of a major collapse. Too many firms, attracted by the boom, have gone into this field of publication. Amercian paper- backs have been pouring into the British market. And-~ the outlook is now very poor for several small firms which jump- ed on the back of the boom dur- ing the past five years. They pulled in sweetshops 'and tobac- conists as distributors. Now they are being 'eft high and dry with more books than they can ever hope to sell. because of a more discriminating pub- lic. Booksellers tell me that they are being flooded out with a record 200 new titles being placed on the market every month. Five years ago, it is estimated, there were around 20 million paper backs stacked on their shelves. Since then, every- body, including the powerful Booksellers' Association, has lost. track of the figures as the number of British publishers of these books has jumped from 12 to about 30. And at the same time, there has been the flood of paper backs coming in from the United States. TOO MANY TITLES One publisher put his finger on the reason for the bursting of the paper-back boom. He said: "Too many titles are coming on the market, and buyers are becoming choosy. So are the booksellers. There is a. growing trend towards better-class read- ing. The trashy books have had their day." On top of this, many of the leading publishers like Oxford and Cambridge Press are now producing their own _paper- backs, instead of selling the rights to others. It is also. lead- ing to a shortage of material suitable for the paper - back trade. This is forcing many firms to scrape the bottom of the barrel for books to publish. The inevitable result is that more and more questionable types are coming to the book- sellers' shelves. ~ FEELING CHANGE Sir Allen Lane, head of the Penguin Books concern, gave a pointer to the way things are going in a recent statement to shareholders. He said there had been a fall in trade since the middle of last year. Penguin leads the field, especially in the better class of paper-back books. But even this top-ranking com- pany is feeling the change. This change is likely to force some firms to get out of this line of publication or simply go broke. The weeding-out process is in full tide. The industry considers that the safe "'break- even" point for the average popular paper-back is around 25,000 copies. But fewer and fewer books are reaching that level now. The probabilities are that this field will be whittled down to few well-established firms, like Penguin, Pelican, Pan, Gorgi, Ace, Four Square and one or two others. With the number of publishers pouring new titles to the paper-back market reduced, those which are left have a much better chance of survival. nerve of the head and face. It is one of thé most agonizing pains affecting man, when it is severe. Cause? Not known. The victim usually is well on in years and more often a woman than a man. The pain is more likely to be on the right than the left side. Attacks may be long or short, but they don't usually happen at night. There are "trigger" situations which may set off an attack, conditions usually af- fecting the nose or mouth re- gion -- chewing, washing the face, getting chilled, touching certain areas of the head. There are different forms of treatment, but alcohol injections to anesthetize or "deaden" the painful nerve, are the common- est form. This treatment has been con- siderably improved in recent years and results have been excellent. It is true that there are secondary effects, including numbness, of the face, some- times difficulty in chewing, and such things -- but these annoy- ances are tolerable as com- pared to unchecked pain of a severe attack of tic. Yes, dilantin can be used, but relief is only temporary. In some instances the nerve is cut surgically, which ends the pain but will leave permanent numb- ness, In rare cases, where tic has H followed a neck injury, traction helps. In other cases, traction doesn't aid at all. Narcotics are often warranted to ease the pain, but continued use posi- tively cannot be considered be- cause of the risk of addiction. Therefore the other forms of treatment are to be preferred, except in emergency attacks. And, since the attacks tend to become worse as time goes on, it's best to begin treatment soon. Fortunately, tic douloureux CAN be helped in most cases. If it can't be halted completely, at least it can be made toler- able most of the time, and the sooner treatment starts, the bet- ter the chance of success.

Does he bene- fit from TV? To find out, researchers from Stanford University in California fired questions at youngsters and their parents in two West- ern Canada towns, guised in the report as Tele- town because it had TV, the other as screen-less Radiotown. It was the first extensive re- search of this kind ever done in Canada, and part of a compre- hensive report on television in the United States and Europe. Among the conclusions: First - graders in Teletown made time for watching TV by taking 35 minutes a day from radio, 33 minutes from play, 13 minutes from bedtime, and by seeing, each month, three fewer movies and reading four fewer comic books. The sixth- and 10th-graders in Teletown spent about 15 minutes a day less on homework than their Radiotown counterparts-- a difference regarded by the researchers as insignificant. There wasn't much difference in general book reading. FAST START But newspaper reading was slightly higher among the older children in Teletown. And they spent more time with the so- called "quality" magazines, while Radiotown youngsters made more use of movie, de- tective, and adventure pulp magazines. In other tests, it was found that TV gives a fast start in learning of general knowledge to children above and below the middle - intelligence group. For example, Teletown first- graders with either high or be- low-average intelligence were about a year ahead of their Radiotown counterparts in vo- cabulary. But there was no sig- nificant difference between the children of average intelligence. However, the fast start in gen- eral knowledge doesn't last. Children with little or no TV soon catch up. The Stanford study showed that bright teen- agers who watch TV a lot get lower scores on knowledge tests compared with light viewers. These are some--but far from all--of the survey results in- cluded in the Stanford report, published under the title Tele- vision in the Lives of Our Chil- dren. It also relies on research work done in U.S. cities and * Of Television Viewing here as one of the two most au- thoritative works on the sub- ject. The other is Television and the Child, a 1958 British study directed by Hilde Him- melweit of the University of London. Stanford's report, running to one dis- 323 pages including statistical tables, starts by stating plainly that no informed person can say TV is either good or bad for children. "The relationship is always between a kind of television and a kind of child in a kind of situation." It also warns against the mis- leading term, "effect ef TV" on children. This implies that chil- dren are sitting victims, and television bites them, the au- thors say. NOT USED BY TV "Nothing can be further from the fact. It is the children who are most active in this relation- ship. It is they who use tele- vision, rather than television that uses them." " Then, having got that much off their chests, the authors re- cite some of the common ques- tions about TV and offer their answers, These are some of them: Is TV hard on children's eye- sight? "Television seems to cause no special amount of eyestrain if children view under proper con- ditions." Are children often frightened by TV? Not usually by "ritual" vio. lence such as westerns or ald Duck in a fight. "C they are frightened when threatens some .characte or to whom they are close! tached, and particularly the harm involves cutting, or stepping in a traf or non-ritual violence." i Is TV too exciting for them? "Does it take the edge ac tual experience and lead /chil- dren to demand of real life something it cannot give them?" "There are some signs of this, but the answer cannot really be given without long - term re- search." PERSONALITY EFFECT Does TV make children too passive? "It does in. some cases, and only long-term studies can de- termine the magnitude and last- ing quality of the effect." Does TV teach violence and cause delinquency? "Children who bring aggres- sion to television are more likely to remember the aggres- sive acts on television. ... Very little delinquency can be traced directly to television . . . Tele- vision is at best a contributory cause." Does TV make children with- draw from life? "In a few cases this happens to a serious degree, and the child needs therapy. In most cases, the child's withdrawal from life is no more than his withdrawal to any fantasy ex- perienc, and he has no diffi- culty making the return trip to normal rules of behavior."

Cairo Becomes Movie Capital CAIRO (Reuters) -- Foreign producers have given a shot in the arm to the United Arab Re- public's infant movie industry. With its centuries-old Pyra- mids and Sphinx, and the 700- year - old citadel for back- ground, Cairo is becoming a Middle Eastern movie capital, attracting stars from the United States, Italy, Japan and West Germany. A Japanese - Egyptian film was shot near the Pyramids outside the city. Another, about Rommel, was made between Alexandria and Alamein with a cast of Germans and Egyptians. Recently, crowds jammed Saladin Square while American actor Tab Hunter poised atop the Citadel Tower for a jump- ing scene in an Italian movie The Golden Arrow. The film, adapted from a tale in the Arabian Nights, also stars Ital- ian actress Rossana Podesta. More Egyptian actresses and actors are 'appearing in foreign productions. Omar el Sherif was in the Anglo - American production Lawrence of Arabia. Magda, a leading actress, will play the heroine in an Egyptian-Indian film about the Persian poet- philosopher Omar Khayyam. The ministry of culture and national guidance, meantime, has established a film institute and helped provide studies with modern equipment. Although the Egyptian movie industry. is young compared with those in the United States and Europe, it has obtained markets in Africa, Asia and Latin American countries. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and 20th Century - Fox have said they would distribute its productions 30-55. Your enquiry will be answered and kept in confidence.
