She Oshawa Zimes Published by Canadian Newspapers L ited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontari T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1962 -- PAGE 6 South African Attempt To Sell Racial Views The South African government of Prime Minister Verwoerd is spending a lot of money in an effort to convince the people of other countries that he and his colleagues are inspired only by the high- est and purest motives in their cam- paign to keep the blacks in a state of impoverished and illiterate ignorance, the "coloreds" in a state preferably outside South Africa, the liberal whites in a state of impotence through threats of fines and imprisonment, and the pro- segregation whites in a state unsullied either by "inferior races" or superior criticism. Newspaper offices have been flooded with Verwoerd's propaganda, and there have even been some paid advertise- ments in American newspapers. It seems a New York advertising agency has been retained to paint the South African lily a "whiter white", as the detergent people say. Last week's advertisement blared: "First Bantu State Established Within South Africa." It followed Verwoerd's Announcement of the establishment of the first non-white territory in which the country's blacks will be allowed limited self-rule. The advertisement says it is a general and liberal effort to help the black people. Eventually, says Vere woerd, other Bantu tribes will be given the same form of internal government in some seven "black" areas in the nation, Apartheid will then be complete. Verwoerd says that under this pro- gram "the new South Africa... holds within it great promise for the building up of friendship and co-operation be- tween the races." If he honestly believes this, he is a fool. All he is doing is to put the blacks in large economy-size jails, He may get them in, but sooner or later they will break out. And when they do, the Congo will seem like a pink tea. Meanwhile, criticism of the Verwoerd government is being stifled. Newspapers are being asked to censor 'themselves, and newspapermen to be careful about the sort of news they send out of South Africa. The same gentle hand that is segregating the blacks is segreating the truth. All-American Canal The proposed All-American canal con- necting Lakes Erie and Ontario has been found "potentially feasible" by the U.S. Army Engineers, who have recom- mended a comprehensive investigation estimated to cost $2gmillion. Such a canal has been boosted as a great economic development on the Niagara Frontier. The proposal was re- vived during the first year of operation of the St. Lawrence Seaway when bottle- necks along the Welland Ship Canal seemed to indicate that waterway could not handle the traffic. The situation along the Welland Ship Canal has, however been materially im- proved since the seaway opened, the St. Catharines Standard points out. Last year the bottlenecks were reduced to a bare minimum, this year they should be few and far between. Under the new system of operation, with the tie-up areas available, the Welland Ship Canal is now able to handle the ships desiring passage. And plans are ready for twin- ning the present single locks when such action becomes necessary. Improvements along the Welland Ship Canal are, however, not considered across the border, the Standard says. Wanted is an All-American canal duplicating the Welland. And it would appear that the Americans may be willing to spend $2 million: to ascertain if such a canal is advisable. The Standard hopes that if such an investigation is carried out all the facts will be secured, not only those favorable to the construction of such a dual water- way. That an All-American canal is being boosted as an area benefit is indicated by editorial.comment in the Buffalo Courier- Express, which said in part: "The Niagara Frontier had a long history of opposition to the Seaway based on the opinion that it would be economically injurious to the area since traffic to and from Lake Erie would pass via the Wel- land Canal in Canada. A modern pass- age on the American side clearly would be a boon to Seaway shipping and would put Buffalo and the surrounding area directly on the big shipping map of the 'nation's fourth seacoast'." Fatal Falls In Homes There were 825 deaths from home accidents in Ontario in 1960, and 358 of these people died because they fell. The majority were over 65 years of age. Contrary to popular belief, more than half the falls occurred on the same level, although stairs, ladders and make- shift climbing devices claimed a good percentage of the victims. This points out the fact floors, as well as stairways, bear careful watching in order to reduce this shocking toll of life. The Ontario Safety League reveals that another illusion is shattered when we consult studies of floor surfaces -- the belief that waxing makes floors more slippery. Although shiny floors are often assumed to be the cause of falls, it is a fact that some floor waxes have less slip than the surfaces on which they are used, providing the wax is applied and maintained properly. Wax which is soft or smeary, rather than well dried and buffed, heightens the possibility of slip- ping. She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

Prompt repair jobs, underlays, re-bind- ing, rubber-spray backing and carpet tacks will all help to reduce these hazards. As older people are the most frequent victims, lighting is an important factor to consider for those with failing eye- sight. Light switches should be installed both at top and bottom of stairways, and a lamp placed beside the bed prevents stumbling in the dark. Furniture should never be rearranged without warning all members of the household, and then with an eye for convenient and safe passage from one room to another. Well-laid carpeting on stairs reduces the slipping danger. Sand mixed with paint for basement stairs will provide a gritty, less hazardous surface, and shiny white paint on the bottom step will prevent many falls to those who mistake the last step for the floor level. A sturdy handrailing for basement stairs is not always standard equipment in a house, but should be installed as an important aid to the family's safety. A careful check for innocent looking death-traps will fend off the most persis- tent killer in our homes today -- acci- dental falls. Other Editors' Views TRADING TOGETHER (Christian Science Monitor ) If the American Civil War 100 years ago had resulted in a divided' nation, neither of the economics could have en- joyed the growth and prosperity of the free trade which now embraces 50 states. If the Western world even 10 years from now is to display the full potential of what free men can achieve for their own living standard and the benefit of others, then the common markets of America and Western Europe should co- operate rather than contend with each y other, 'BRACE YOURSELF -- WE'VE AGREED' YOUR HEALTH em to this area.

But I alse beg ot point out that sinus trouble isn't limited REPORT FROM U.K. Japanese Accused Of Trade Piracy By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON Two British woollen manufacturers, Alan Smith of Lochleven Mills, Kin- ross, Scotland, and Alan Black- burn, managing director of Jo- seph Dawson and Company of Bradford, Yorkshire, have re- turned from a trip to Hong Kong irate at the manner in which Japanese firms are hood- winking the public into believ- ing that their knitwear is a product of Scotland. On their return, they charged that the "Duke of Scott' and his asso- ciates in the Far East are filch- ing nearly $3,000,000 worth of Britain's knitwear trade every year in that part of the world. According to their story, a false line of 'Scott' labels is growing rapidly in Hong Kong, for the sole purpose of hood- winking American tourists and cutting into the Scottish export trade with the Far East. INTRODUCED TO DUKE The brand of "'Scott", they assert, is being attached to Japanese cashmere _ sweaters and other knitwear, and these articles are being sold to tour- ists visiting Hong Kong as Scottish. In a store in Kowloon, the two British manufacturers were first introduced to the Duke of Scott, who was apparently a self-styled duke without a duke- dom. Mr. Smith, who has raised a court action against these Japanese manufacturers, says that he and Mr. Blackburn were told that the Scott brand was genuine Scottish. But they knew differently. American tourists, they re- ported, were buying Japanese cashmere garments, labelled with such names as Queen's Scott, Royal Scott; Henry Scott, Cashmere Scott . . there seemed to be no end to the line of goods bearing this deceptive brand name. WORST OF ALL To cap the~ lot, the worst piece of deception they en- countered was a_ garment investigation into the whole matter. Mr. Smith is chairman of the British Cashmere Asso- ciation. His colleague, Mr. Blackburn, said to his fellow-manufactur- ers in Bradford: "The prices were reasonable, but when American tourists buy inferior Japanese gar- ments believing they are prod- ucts of Scotland, they are given a very poor impression of the Scottish c--%mere industry." PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM "There is too much gloom in the world today,"' says an edi- tor. It is wondered how much gloom would be enough, and how much less than that would be too little. If you are a missionary sched- uled to go to an area in which there are cannibals, you should be interested in this bit of in- formation: "Cannibals will not eat a person who is a heavy smoker." get from people in the mild, warm or even sub - tropical areas, compiaining about "sinus trouble." The point I'm making is that chronic infections of the air Passages can cause bad breath, and they aren't always sinus trouble. Ard they aren't just from climate, True sinus trouble, nasal dis- orders, infected tonsils, bron- chiectasis, and excessive smok- ing all are conimon factors, and the lasi of these is one which is not taken seriously of- ten enough. Some individuals are over-sensitive to smoke. The irritation causes persistent in- flammation which may--or may not--cause Yad breath. Reduction of smoking, or com- plete abstinence, clears up many catarrhal conditions. Dear Dr. Molner: A year and a half ago our son. now five, contracted rheumatic fever and has been receiving penicillin ever since to prevent recur- rence. What are the chances of recurrence? Mrs. H So long as the penicillin is continued once every four to six weeks, the chance of recurrence is small. If the medication is stopped, nobody can say he will have another atlack but even less can one say he won't. The American Heart Association recommends continuing this pro- tection for life -- and I thor- oughly agree. Dear Dr. Molner: Is it al- ways necessary to be in a hos- pital when passing a_ kidney stone? I'd rather not, but my doctor says the x-ray shows. a stone has passed from the kid- ney to the bladder, and I will have to go to the haspital. R. C. It is not always essential to be in the hospitai. But when the stone finally is passed it may be so very paintu' that you'd much prefer to be where some- one can be on hand to give you some pain-relieving medicine at the critical time. If, under the ci1cumstances, your doctor agrees to leave a pain-relievet for use at home (depending on his judgment of your particular case, naturally) try to remember that all urine voided should be collected and strained through a cloth, to catch and identify the stone. It may be so small tnat you might easily miss seeing it, even though it may fee: like a horse as it goes through. BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO The chapel of Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church was formally dedicated and opened. Residents of Lakeview Gar- dens petitioned the Board of Education to ask the city to build a foot bridge over Oshawa Creek at a location more con- venient than Thomas street. F. Skitch's Lindsay rink won the first prize and the McLaugh- lin trophy and J. Gay's Oshawa rink finished a close second to capture the Albert Sykes Me- morial trophy at the annual + Oshawa Curling Club bonspiel. District Commissioner W. L. Pierson, speaking at _ the Seventh Oshawa Group father and son banquet, announced the launching of a campaign to double the Boy Scout member- ship to 800 in the city before 940. which was labelled "'Springle of 1940 Scott'. They considered this was a- piece of blatant piracy of the trade name of the world- famous woollen firm of Prin- gle of Scotland, which operates in the border town of Hawick. In the presence of witnesses, they bought one of these gar- ments, with a receipt marked "Scottish".

Since its erection last August, it has separated 60,000 East Berliners from their well - paid jobs in West Berlin; it has separated many a Hans from his brother Otto; it has separated 3,250,000 Berliners from their loyally- preserved hope that the halves of their city and of their coun- try might be reunited. Above all, it has separated 17,000,000 East Germans from their exit to freedom. The Wall is 50 miles of con- crete and barbed wire and floodlights and sub - machine guns -- erected across roads, skirting railroads, jogged around plants, bordering parks, and especially incorporating the bricked-window outer walls of apartment buildings. -- The Wall is not the world's foulest testimony to man's in- humanity to man: The gas chambers of the Nazis won that shameful palm. It is not the world's largest witness to broth- er's inhumanity to brother: The battlefield of Gettysburg holds that palm now oddly honored. But the Wall is the - world's most vivid tribute to the im- perishibility of man's greatest concept for mankind: freedom. WRONG-WAY WALL For, unlike other walls, The Wall was not built to keep man out. It was built to keep free- dom-loving man constrained, in conditions of un - freedom. It was built to halt the daily flow of 200 East Germans to the freedom of West Germany. It was built as a mute Russian admission of their final despair of wooing West Germany away from us, their allies, by offer- ing them reunification at the price of the loss of their free- dom. 4 _ Thus to all mankind The Wall is a spotlit symbol. But to Frau Schmidt, among Questions Raised About Wheat Sales By DAVID OANCIA LONDON (CP)--Can Commu- nist China continue to be a good customer of Canadian wheat? A Canadian who has studied the grain deals concludes that China can continue importing Canadian grain only if she sac- rifices expenditures in other fields. In his analysis published in The China Quarterly, Allan J. Barry observes that the Cana- dian agreement suggests China's import plans extend at least until 1963. "China may hope to be no longer in need of large-scale shipment of grain from abroad; how could she hope to support foreign exchange payments of up to $500,000,000 for Western grain in 1963? "The answer may well be only at enormous expense to other programs and perhaps only with some form of assist- ance from her Soviet bloc al- lies." The author, a 25-year-old na- tive of Altona, Man., who stu- died economics at the Univer- sity of Manitoba and Univer- sity of Toronto, wrote the arti- cle while in Hong Kong on a fellowship. He now is with the finance department in Ottawa. CONTRACT NOT FIRM Chinese food purchases in 1961 were about 6,500,000 tons. Cost, including transportation, was an estimated $360,000,000, of which $230,000,000 was to be paid last year and the balance this year. Barry discusses some uncer- tainties associated with Can- ada's agreement with China. These are: 1, The nature of the agree- ment. "Basically, it would seem that this document is very far from being a firm contract and is rather 'an agreement of in- TOG ae This covers the supply of 230,000,000 bushels of wheat and barley during the 2%-vear pe- riod ending in 1963. Credit {s provided through a special $100,000,000 revolving fund set up by the Canadian govern- ment. "The price was presumably left open at Canada's request, to avoid any possibility of a repetition of the losses suffered under the British wheat agree- ment of 1946, but as it stands the Chinese are not really com- mitted to: buy any wheat at all if a 'mutually agreeable' price cannot be arrived at." The assumption was, how- ever, that the Chinese would want to buy grain badly enough to pay the going world price, CURRENCY RIK 2. The credit risk. The feel- ing on this was that the Chinese valued their reputation as world traders too much to destroy it by refusing payment when due. 3. The possibility of finan- cial losses from currency fluc- tuations. The Canadian Wheat Board was accepting payment in sterling for the first time, thus assuming the exchange risk. 4. The effect the sale may have on the U.S. surplus dis- posal program. Liberal Leader Lester Pearson had raised the possibility that U.S. officials may no longer feel under the same obligation to co-operate with Canada in safeguarding normal commercial markets. 5. The Canadian supply posi- tion. Should there be another small crop this year, Canada would be in "the rather re- markable position" of being un- able to supply anticipated quan- tities of wheat to both China and her other customers in 1962-63. Barry speculates that China's three successive crop failures may not entirely explain her grain purchases abroad. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Duplessis Bridge across the St. Lawrence at Trois-Rivieres on the main Montreal-Quebec high- way collapsed 11 years ago to- day--in 1951. Four men in auto- mobiles plunged to their death. 1907--Timothy Eaton, founder of the T. Eaton Company, died in Toronto 1958--The fi@t U.S. earth sat- ellite, Explorer I, was launched. To China "Natural disasters have been substantial enough, although Western and even some East- ern European observers believe that the Chinese have over- stressed the effects of drought and flood to cover up defects in the organization of crop col- lection and distribution' and in the introduction of new tech- niques," He adds there is much evi- dence suggesting that the com- mune system introduced in 1958 brought chaos to rural areas.

One yard from The Wall, she set up the ladder and climbed to the top, helping up her son. Tiptoeing on the top step, he was able to peer through the snowflakes over The Wall, whilst his mother pointed out his father's new grave in the cemetery unat- tainably beyond. wan Heeger we! others, The all is a challenge leading to the choice between being "'Red or dead." Rude wooden crosses, hung with withered wreaths, carry names, dates and elo- quent inscriptions. Here a man was shot by the Communists, two yards from safety; there a woman was pushed to death from a roof by the pursuing Vopos, or people's police. But no cross is required for the brave mother who swam the freezing River Spree with her baby lashed to her back and drugged into silence lest, chilled, its cries should attract searching floodlight and searing bullet. Thus still Germans are killed by Germans as they seek free- dom; but today' and every day many more attain it safely. GLITTER EVERYWHERE The bearer of a Canadian passport can pass freely into East Berlin and, more impor- tantly, out again from behind the Iron Curtain into freedom's land, It is something of a sur- prise to learn that all Commu- nists are not 10 feet tall; that Germans uniformed in the Red cause can even be little blonde men, witha wan smile rare as the watery sun in' Berlin's clouded winter sky. The shops in communisms facade streets--Unter den Lin- den and Stalin Allee, recently renamed Karl Marx Allee-- show quality goods in their bright neon glare. In a de luxe restaurant, uniformed waiters serve an unexcelled meal at ex- celled prices.

GALLUP POLL Considerable Pessimism Shown On Unemployment By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion Public morale on the unem- ployment situation in Canada is bad, not only across the nation itself, but in comparison with the way peoples of six other na- tions react to its future. In Canada itself, six in ten men and women think the ranks of the jobless will swell in the next six months. Only about one in ten think they will de- crease; about two in ten be- lieve they will remain about the same. In general this is much the same point of view Canad- fans held two years'ego. Set against the expectations of other countries surveyed by the World Gallup Poll, Canada's gloom on the jobless resembles that of Vietnam. Well on to twice the proportion here look for increased unemployment as do so in the States, for instance, Go Up Vietnam Canada Uruguay Great Britain Norway United States Finland and the ratio is very much high- er than that in the U.K. In Canada, Ontario is the most optimistic; Quebec and the West, the least. These facts emerge from a series of studies carried out in a seven-nation survey. The ques- tion: "Do you think that unemplov- ment will go up, go down. or remain about the same over the next six months?" The first table shows how closely today's point of view, nationally, matches that of De- cember 1959.
