She Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. LL Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Arts Also Necessary For National Security The United States Congress has been going through much the same debate as was staged in Parliament before and during the setting up of the Canada Council. There the body to assist the arts has been dubbed the "advisory coun- cil", and the bill which would have set it up was defeated in the last Congress but is being reintroduced at the current session. The Sill does not ask for subsidies or a fund, along the lines of the money provided for administration and dispen- sation by the Canada Council. It simply asks that the U.S. president be authorized to appoint a council of 21 private citizens "widely recognized for their knowledge of or experience in the arts", to constitute a study group which would "recommend ways to maintain and increase the cul- tural resources of the United States" and "propose methods to encourage private initiative in the arts." The puzzlement and suspicion of some of the congressmen reflects the same state of mind that pervaded a consider- able part of the House of Commons at the time of the Canada Council discus- sion. One representative asked: "What are the arts? What various occupations are included in the arts so that we will know what we are getting into?" Another admitted: "Maybe my appreciation of the arts is not what it ought to be and perhaps that because I do not under- stand all the arts and culture." Another thought that in the current state of the world "we just have no business spend- ing one single dollar on things that are not necessary for our security." The answer is, of course, that the arts are necessary for a nation's security, for the arts can only fluorish among people whose eyes are open and whose spirits are alive. It was best expressed by Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times, who wrote: "As a nation we need every- thing. We need industry and a military establishment. We need science. We need the arts. Without the arts, the character of the people would indeed be gross and dull and leave America without a future; for it is the artists who address themselves most directly to the national purpose. They are part of the conscience of the nation." Voice Of Experience British Columbia's Highway Minister Philip Gaglardi is one highways chief who is intimately acquainted with the rules that are supposed to govern motor- ists -- he has, after all, been convicted six times of traffic offences. It is on the basis of his own experience, then, that he recommended to the B.C. Legislature last week these 10 commandments for good driving: 1. Every person on this highway has the same rights and privileges as I have, and may I constantly grant to other drivers what I wish to have granted to me. 2. If I do not wish to drive the posted safe -- speed limits, may I never in any way restrict those who do. 3. Legally I may have the right of way, but neither the law nor being right gives me any less reason to do all in my power to avoid accidents. 4. As a driver of a larger vehicle, may I never be guilty of taking advantage of a driver of a smaller vehicle. 5. May I never exceed the ability of the highway or the capabilities of my vehicle or my own skill as a driver. 6. May I never make like the Lone Ranger and drive aimlessly as a lane- changer. 7. Never be a tail-gater -- this is a prelude to an accident-maker. 8. Never accelerate a vehicle when be- ing passed-accidents come easy enough without increasing the possibility. 9. A drinking driver is the highway's most dangerous hazard. May the value of a human life mean more to me than a drink. 10, May courtesy be my highest objective when I take the wheel of my vehicle. The minister said something along these lines might be printed in a pamph- let for distribution among drivers as part of an education program to reduce the number of highway accidents. Theyre Always Women Women, of course, will always remain a mystery. So will the ever changing styles in which women delight. The recent women's pages of a number of publications seem to have inspired in male readers some gentle rejoicing. Thus, a Paris announcement discloses that the great couturiers, in going through the elaborate ritual of their "openings", have decided to return to the natural line, with curves in their proper places. "This happens every few years, the Montreal Star recalls. "By some mys- terious process --- perhaps extrasensory perception -- the leaders of the fashion world, whose plans have been wrapped in a security supposedly as tight as Cape Canaveral's simultaneously decide that women should look like women for a change. "Of course it doesn't last. At the next: showings, a new line will creep in -- the stovepipe look, say, or the teepee, or the tea-cosy. Over a couple of years She Oshawa Fimes T. L.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My married daughter is under the influence of a former registered nurse who lets her own children run around half-naked. Her babies are kept in the playpen--wet to their waists, barefoot, and wear- ing diapers only. The youngsters are always having colds and ear-aches. She fills them up with aspirin and penicillin, and the por kids are full of med- icine. I have known some wonderful mothers who were registered nurses, and admired them, but why do we have to have crack- pots like this one?--Mrs. 8. J. I don't know why. It's too bad, isn't it? Frankly, I'm not wed to the idea that children should be bundled up too heavily. Some people, I'm afraid, seem to have the idea that the way to keep Johnny well is to wrap him in as many clothes as he can man- age. This may do harm. Get a child all sweaty from too much clothing, and then he's going to be more sensitive to a chill from a draft. And while we can't pos- itevely prove that such chilling is harmful, my observation con- vinces me that it probably REPORT FROM U.K. Reservoir Scheme Bitterly Opposed By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A private bill in- troduced in the House of Lords, aiming to give the city of Manchester the right to use the beautiful Ullswater, one of the loveliest spots in the Eng- lish Lake District, as a source of water supply, has met a bar- rage of criticism. Heading the critics are Lord Birkett and Lakes District Planning Board. They are backed up by the farmers of the district, who have presented a petition to the House of Lords condemn- ing the bill as "'illogical, un- wise and premature." It is admitted that in a few years Manchester will have a critical water problem on its hands. It has at present avail- able from its reservoirs at Thirlmere and Haweswater, also in the Lake District, 126 million gallons a day. Its pres- ent consumption rate is 104 mil- lion gallons. But the city cor- poration estimates that before 1970, it will go beyond the sup- ply of 126 million gallons. AMENITY DESTROYED If the bill is passed, Man- chester will draw its water sup- plies from Ullswater, but the beauty of a lovely valley will be destroyed. That is what hap- pened when the lovely lakes of Thirlmere and Haweswater were tapped and turned into dead reservoirs. A large area of the finest natural scenery in England was flooded, and the public denied access to it. According to the Lake Dis- trict Planning Board, the Na- tional Park in which Ullswater is located would be irreparably harmed if Manchester's plans are put through. And it lieves this is unnecessary. A national policy of water con- servation, now nearing imple- mentation would, it feels, bring about the development of all the water resources of north- west England and solve Man- chester's problem without ruin- ing the beauties of Ullswater. WHAT IS INVOLVED The proposals embodied in the bill involve the following: Inundating by a 170-foot dam the whole of the peaceful, un- spoiled valley of Bannisdale, including two flourishing farms; Raising the average water level of Ullswater, second larg- est and queen of all the Eng- lish lakes, with results unpre- dictable, particularly at times of heavy rdinfall and flood; Inundating by a 130-foot dam Swindale, whose natural loveli- ness the previous minister of housing and local government conceded should remain un- impaired, The petitioners against the bill point to what has happened at Thirlmere and Haweswater as the horrible example. Farms, habitations and lovely old inns, together with the old agricul- tural pattern of the valley had been eliminated at Thirlmere, where the lake was raised 54 feet, and at Haweswater, made 95 feet higher. The whole vil- lage of Mardale Green was sub- merged and obliterated. Last summer I spent a week in the Lake District and wan- dered around Ullswater. My sympathies are all with the people who are protesting against that beautiful country- side being buried deep under a new reservoir for Manchester, unless thorough investigations prove beyond a_ shadow of doubt that there is no alterna- tive source of supply. resistance. Therefore I say that light or moderate clothing is perfectly all right for children in mild weather or in a warm house. In really hot weather, a minimum of clothing is comfortable and adequate. FAVORS CLOTHES But-in anything but hot sum- mer weather, I certainly favor more than just a diaper -- a shirt, at least. And when chil- dren are old enough to stand, I think it is better for them to wear shoes, if for no reason other than to keep them from stepping on things that might hurt them. About letting children remain wet--most certainly not. It is neither sanitary nor comforta- ble for the child, and it isn't good training for him, either. The results of the situation you describe should be evidence enough to convince your mar- ried daughter that she should not follow this pattern with her own babies. Frequent colds are bad enough. The ear-aches you men- tion are an even more danger- ous sign. They mean infection-- and ultimate impairment of hearing is only one of the gloomy consequences. An ear- ache in a child should never be taken lightly. This cause should be cleared up with the least delay possible. Dosing with aspirin and peni- cillin is no substitute for keeping children healthy in the frst place. And whle we're at it, something is very wrong if this woman is getting penicillin to use so casually. Penicillin is a marvelous drug, but there are severe dan- gers in its misuse. For one thing, patients must be watched for any sign of becoming sen- sitive to it. For another, prom- iscuous use of the drug permits germs to become resistant. "Staph," or staphylococcus germs that have become resist- ant are only one example of a danger that we must guard against, nor just for own sake but for everybody's. Correct doses used only when necessary are the only means we have of preventing germs from becom- ing resistant. NOTE TO A.V.M.: These small broken veins are quite common. They are called '"'spi- der veins.""' They tend to come and go. The cause is not known, but there is no connection what- ever with cancer. The best thing is to forget about them.

OTTAWA REPORT Seaway Can't Be Written Off Yet By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- "Do you consider the St. Lawrence Seaway to be a failure?" This provocative question about the controversial seaway was asked in Parliament by Douglas Fisher, CCF MP from the Lakehead constituency of Port Arthur. Mr. Fisher was questioning the validity of a previous speak- er's assertion that the seaway has proved its success. Hon. Lionel Chevrier, the Lib- eral MP who resigned from his position as president of the St. Lawrence Seaway to re-enter politics 5 years ago, can speak with some authority on this sub- ject. He pointed out that, up to the end of November, 23,000,000 tons of cargo passed through the St. Lawrence locks, and 30,- 000,000 tons through the Welland Canal, during the 1961 shipping season. These figures fell short of the estimate of 30,000,000 tons and 40,000,000 tons respectively, which had been anticipated by QUEEN'S PARK Tourist Industry Getting Attention By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--New thought will be given to the tourist industry. The Economic Development Council has had its initial meet- ing and tourism was one of. the questions marked for first at- tention. : And a good one: Political considerations may have been behind the choice-- and "'politics" in that the coun- cil itself would want to do something on which it could ex- pect quick action, as it can in tourism. But any effort won't be a@ waste. There is no question that we haven't been giving the thought to the tourist industry we might have. MINISTER WORKING The minister, Hon. Bryan Cathcart, has been doing his best. But it has been a lone gi some fight. When vel look back when did we last do something bold and new in this field? That's right, you don't re- member. We have been inclined to take this industry as an annual bon- anza which comes our way as &@ matter of right It's a bonanza all right. But who knows whether it is nearly so big as it could be? On the surface at least it seems likely there is no field in which a few million dollars could be spent more profitably, if wisely spent. FIELD GOOD Even more important there is no field which could profit more View Changed About Tahiti VANCOUVER (CP) -- After 18 months roaming through Tahiti and other dream spots in the South Pacific, 22-year-old Al Schofield has come home t Vancouver--but only to get a job and earn enough money to return. "T headed to Tahiti with the usual glorified and rather juve- nile views of a tropical island," he says. "I was just going to lie on the beach and spear fish all day." : Instead, he became intrigued with the Tahitians and lived among them learning their lan- guage. "And once you've learned the language you're half way to learning their philosophy. . . . "Not everyone can adjust to life there, but I believe I can. Of cocre, it's a free love soci- ety in Tahiti. "People here say to me 'Oh, I couldn't live in a place like that where the only thing that matters is sex.' That's the exact point. Tahiti isn't concerned about sex. The Tahitians don't know what it means. It's people who go there with only that in mind who are maladjusted." Schofield said he found the Tahitian philosophy based on three points--dignity of the indi- vidual; security of mind--which means you don't worry about anything--and sympathy for one another -- meaning you share whatever you have. "Tf you are walking along a road and a Tahitian family is having dinner, they will auto- matically invite you to join them It's not that they want you to be their guest or that they're worried about you being hungry. It's just that it's dinner- time and peopie should eat." Schofield hopes someday to return and operate a charter yacht in the southern isles. TODAY IN HISTORY . By THE CANADIAN PRESS Feb. 26, 1962... Adolf Hitler declared 25 years ago today--in 1937-- that Germany would re- spect the neutrality and ter- ritorial integrity of Switzer- land. It was one of the few promises kept by the Nazi leader through the S d from some good thought, and a fresh look at things as they are now. Some educational work with operators (some of those meals!), perhaps some capital lending to give them a chance to bring up and. keep up facili- ties--there could be a general upgrading to higher standard. (Golf is' a big game today. Have you ever tried some of those resort "golf courses."). There is the old question-- it's been mentioned here more than once--of souvenirs. BIG BUSINESS In resort areas in the U.S. this is a big business It isn't here. Thought and a bit of organ- ization should be able to build up a good souvenir industry in Ontario. But neither has really been ven. The wares in our souvenir shops are still largely Made in Japan. In the decade and more since the war we in Ontario have been inclined to be pretty smug about ourselves. Times have been prosperous and we have largely been will- ing to go along for the ride without even steering the boat. Nobody knows how far we might have gone if we had been intent on the course all the way. The tourist industry reflects this perhaps better than any other. It has been good, and wé have been pipe Now as part of our general discontent it wi looked at. wees Anything could happen. There is great potential. the tolls advisery eommittees. But, added Mr. Chevries, the cargo passing through the down- river locks was two and one half times the volume carried there in the last pre-seaway season, 1958; similarly traffic on the Welland Canal was 1,000,- 000 tons more than existed be-. fore. But at the western end of the seaway, countered Mr. Fisher, we have seen ¢hat the growth redicted has thus far not fully materialized from this grandi- ose scheme. UNREALISTIC ESTIMATES? In this little exchange in our House of Commons, we saw the backwash of the great debate which is now shaking 6ur Great Lake shipping interests. The St. Lawrence Seaway -- Great Lakes is one of the world's busiest freightways, so its importance to our economy should not be underestimated. Even in its short eight-month ice-free season, the canals at Sault Ste. Marie pass more cargo than the world-famous Panama, Suez and Manchester ship canals combined. The total cargo shipped on the Great Lakes in one year is equivalent to a freight train of 75 trucks hauling freight from the earth to the sun and back. So Canada has an intimate interest in the success of the seaway, and hence in the cur- rent behind-the-scenes talk about the tolls charged on that seaway. One school of thought urges that, since the volume of cargo is running below estimates, the tolls should be raised to build up the seaway's earned revenue to the estimates. Another school .of thought is reflected by the lake shippers, who want to see all tolls abolished--or at least no increase imposed. PREDICTED INCREASE The tolls advisory committees had estimated that 25 million tons of cargo woutd be carried on the more lucrative Montreal- Lake Ontario section of the sea- way in its first year, 1959. They predicted an annual increase by 4,000,000 tons in each of the next four years, after which the rate of increase would taper off to an ultimate plateau of 50,000,000 tons in the 10th season. This estimate is based on the assumption that our fast-grow- ing population and that of our neighbour--will make no more use of the seaway in the year 2,008 than in 1968, which seems a faulty estimate. Thus it is be- lieved in official circles here that, although the volume of traffic in these early years has not soared to the optimistic expectations, it will in later years rise substantially above those estimates. On this basis, official thinking here is that it would certainly be unwise, to raise tolls; and that in the long view "this grandiose scheme" will amply fulfil the expecta- tions held by its builders. GALLUP POLL Better Dead Than Red North Americans Think By The Canadian Institute Of Public Opinion Canadians and Americans hold widely divergent views on what has come to be known as the "red or dead' issue. For Canadians and Americans, the horror of all-out nuclear war--even though it might mean their death -- is clearly prefer- able to submitting to Communist domination. 'I'd rather go to war and die than live under Communist rule" is a comment summing up much of the reaction heard by Gallup Poll reporters on this continent. For the British--a people who experienced the terrors of Nazi bombings during World War II --the choice would be much harder. The largest number, in Fight nuclear war ...+cscccsessscsvesceee Live under Communism .
