She Oshawa Canes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Categories For Books - Not Practical Scheme Few churchmen have as keen an appreciation of the art of publicity as Drs. Mutchmor and Berry of the United Church's Board of Evangelism and Social Service. Unfortunately, their skill in the art tends to create the general impression that they speak for the United Church as a whole, and other church spokesmen from time to time are compelled to point out that this is not so, that what has been said by Dr. Mutchmor and Berry may not even be church policy. This was surely the case a few days ago when Dr. Berry proposed that a panel of judges be appointed by the government to deliberate on various books and place them in cate- gories which would be restricted to certain kinds of readers. This is a sort of back-door approach to censorship, but the more devious method does not overcome the initial objection to censorship. The question remains, who is to do the judging, who is to sit on the panel? Dr. Berry suggested that the panel for the Voices From For sheer effrontery, spokesmen for the producers of dairy products have few equals and no superiors. Encouraged by the timidity of politi- cians and the numb acquiescence of taxpayers, they seem to operate on the theory that the urban public is something of a cow to be regularly milked. An example of this attitude was given a few days ago by the Ontario Concentrated Milk Producers' Associa- tion at its annual meeting. The As- sociation has been enraged by the sale of margarine by the delivery men of some dairy companies, and a resolu- tion condemning the practice was passed at the meeting. The same resolution noted that "this competi- tive product (margarine) has in a few short years gone a long way toward crippling the dairy industry... It is adding daily to the burden of the Canadian taxpayer." It is butter, not margarine, that is greasing the skids for the taxpayer-- something like 200 million pounds of butter, paid for but not consumed by the taxpayer, stockpiled by the gov- censorship job he had in mind could consist of literary editors, a psych- iatrist, a doctor, a probation officer and "an ordinary housewife or two." Are there any ordinary housewives? We think Dr. Berry's troubles would start right there. There are house- wives whose idea of "high-class read ing" is the Readers Digest, and there are housewives who dote on Dosto- ievski; we know of at least three who have read, with enjoyment, Miller's controversial "Tropic of Cancer." Would Dr. Berry have on his panel the housewife who struggles with the Digest or the one who thinks Miller a good literary craftsman? Where would he find two literary editors to agree with each other, let alone agree with the psychiatrist and the pro- bation officer, literary editors being pretty opinionated fellows? But if, mirabile dictu, agreement were reach- ed by the panel, how would the panel's decision be greeted? It would be greeted with hoots of scorn and hollers of anger, and prob- ably deservedly so. There is no need for such literary snobbery. The Past ernment which goes on buying the' surplus when it is obvious to every- one, including the members of the government and the dairy producers, that the whole procedure is grossly wasteful. People buy "this competitive pro- duct" because it is tasty, healthy and cheap. They are not going to pay twice as much for butter, despite the petty irritations that provincial gov- ernments try to impose on the use of margarine. If the producers think otherwise, they are deceived. When dairy companies sell margarine, they do so because their customers want the product--and they are in business to serve the customers. The producers refuse to realize that they cannot make time stand still. This city once produced excellent buggies; it is now producing excellent automobiles because there were men here with enough vision to see the end of the buggy, and enough energy to prepare for the inevitable change. The dairy producers cannot expect the public to submit meekly and in- definitely to the double-payment system for butter that's not wanted. Tourist Account Deficit Canadian travellers on the average are now spending more money abroad than people from any other North Atlantic country. Naturally, this has resulted in a significant deficit in Canada's tourist account. The tourist development is discussed in the Bank of Montreal's latest business review. The tourist deficit in 1960 amounted to over $200 million. By that year, Canadian tourist expenditures abroad had risen to an all-time high of $627 million, nearly three times as great as the total spent in 1950. Receipts from foreign tourists to. Canada in 1960 reached $420 million -- a larger source of receipts than any com- modity export except newsprint, but The Oshawa Sines T. L, WILSON, Publisher C.

It is true that rising incomes have given more Canadians an opportunity to travel outside Canada, but this alone is not enough to explain the tourist deficit. Another reason must surely be that other countries have done a better job in Canada of selling their attractions than Canada has done abroad, or, indeed, than Canada has done of selling its own attractions to its own people. The major part of this country's international tourist income | arises from travel between the United States and Canada, but it also ac- counted for $85 million of the 1960 deficit, since Canadians spent $462 million in the United States and Americans spent only $375 million in Canada, the bank review points out. Yet Americans outnumber ten to one, which should indicate a weakness in Canadian salesmanship. Visits to countries other than the U.S. have also been increasing, with spending climbing from $33 million in 1950 to $165 in 1960. The review makes this significant comment: While no complete informa- tion is available on interprovincial travel, it seems "fairly clear that the value of Canadian tourism is at least equal to, and probably several times greater than the $420 million received from foreign tourists travelling in Canada in 1960."

If self-gratification and self-indulgence are your only desires, yours is a living death, ' tale ---- 4 ----\ te i ee OTTAWA REPORT he now Argue's Defection Not Big Surprise By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Even the longest memory here cannot recall a parallel to Hazen Argue's slow- motion defection from the New Democratic Party. There was no brisk "one, two, three--jump"' about a political about-face which was discussed by its planner as long ago as last spring. This column re- ported last May 15 that Argue then was considering moving into the Liberal fold. "He has even made inquiries in top Lib- eral circles to ascertain whether the red carpet or the slammed door would greet him," I wrote. He may well have wondered, having recently offended all Liberals by describing their leader Lester Pearson as '"'the greatest mistake in Liberal history." But this column's_ correct statement was denied thrice by Mr. Argue, and by CCF-NDP officials in letters to newspa- pers. A Mr. George Bothwell of Regina, for example, wrote .to suggest that I should be given a fiction award. To which of course my reiort today could well be: "Hey, Zen | I made i bad HAZE 'N' ARGUE After that overture, Argue not only tended the primrose path which he hoped was red-car- peted, but also flew around Canada addressing meetings called to stimulate enthusiasm for the NDP and its, forthcom- ing "founding convention." So did his energetic and ambitious wife, Jean. Officials of the NDP say the bill for Hazen's hegira was. over $5,000--mostly paid by unions; but that he plugged his own candidacy for the leadership of the NDP more than its actual founding. More, they were astonished that he was a candidate at all, since he was understood to have told a convention a year earlier that, if Tommy Douglas could be persuaded to accept the leader- ship, he, Hazen, would not con- test it against his friend. Yet Argue, who won the par- liamentary leadership by a sin- gle vote--his own--fought for YOUR HEALTH 1 in the national leadership; sought support even among the unions criticizes; was deci- sively beaten; and made his famous Declaration of Loyalty to his conqueror: "No matter what my role is the years ahead, I shall speak for you, I shall work for you, Ishall never let you down." But one may wonder whether a stick and a carrot did not conspire shortly after that to tempt Argue along the primrose path. First, in a byelection the NDP lost Tommy Douglas's old seat, the traditionally marginal Weyburn. This result questioned the electoral security of Argue in the same area, formerly held by . Liberal Jimmy Gardiner. Then that same Jimmy, the longtime Liberal agricultural minister, died, ending specula- tion that he would try a politi- cal comeback. Now there was not merely not even a single outstanding Liberal - Prairie farmer ex-MP in a_ beckoning void. Could those primroses- be blooming along that path in winter? Early January brought to Ottawa confident assurance that in exactly six weeks Argue would give up his job as parlia- mentary leader, for which the NDP paid him an extra $3,000 a year, mostly from union funds. This was to be his first step to joining the Liberals. . Little birds also whispered that x Fs & ¥ Variation Noted In Size Of Heart By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What is an enlarged heart? Can one live with it?--B.X. I can't give you a general answer, but your doctor can, after examining you. If the heart is put under some unusual and continued strain, it tends to get larger: Sometimes the strain is rela- tively temporary -- that is, in time it is corrected in one way or another. In such cases, the enlargement may gradually. be reduced, Or the enlargement may remain, but it no longer is anything to worry about. There is some variation in the size of hearts anyway, so in some instances it is difficult to say whether a heart is slightly enlarged or whether it is quite normal, just larger. than aver- age. After all, we don't all have feet pr hands or shoulders the same size. Thus there are over - sized hearts which aren't cause for concern. On the other hand, if the strain that has caused the heart to enlarge is still present, then the case deserves careful study, to see whether treatment of any kind is necessary as for high blood pressure or whether, per- haps, the person is overweight and can reduce the strain by losing weight. NO EXERTION Still another possibility is that there may be no particular treatment that will be of value~ but the patient should simply know that his heart has been damaged and should be careful not to over-exert himself. Too much puffing and short- Ness: of breath may in a good many such cases be a natural, built-in warning to the patient that he is straining harder than his heart allows, and he munst rest or at least take things easier until his breath comes normally again. There are thousands upon thousands of enlarged hearts, but their owners go along nicely for years by taking care of themselves. ' I don't, of course, mean that you should ignore it if you find you have an enlarged heart. It means that either there is or there has been some exces:ive strain. You should find out just how much damage there has been, and whether improvement can be made, which many times is the case, and how careful you need to be to relieve the heart of any future strain. Get the facts and act accordingly. Dear Dr. Molner: My four- year-old son's teeth have turned green. What caused this and what can be done?--M.S. This discoloration is thought to be due to bacteria that pro- duce a pigment, or color. Both green and brown have been re- ported. These bacteria are not like disease - producing germs. Cleaning with an abrasive den- tifrice may help. Saskatchewan Liberal Leader Ross Thatcher had offered Argue the job of agriculture minister in the next provincial government -- if Thatcher can oust the CCF there. DENIES RUMORS Argue's denials continued, to everyone. Indeed as recently as Feb 17, he attended a NDP council in Regina; spent two hours discussing election strat- egy with his leader Tommy Douglas; sat between Tommy and NDP Premier Lloyd as trusting friends and colleagues at dinner. But the. very next day .he fulfilled to the day the first step of that six-week-old prediction. Everyone will agree with Argue's former chieftain and longtime political wet-nurse and mentor, the respected and able M. J. Coldwell, that any man may swallow his words and change his beliefs. What has sorely hurt many NDP col- leagues is not the suspicion ex- pressed by one official: '"'Who provided the 30 pieces of sil- ver?" so much as the accumu- lated evidence that their parlia- mentary leader had long been planning to break his Declara- tion of Loyalty whilst denying such intention. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO The District Commissioner of the Oshawa Girl Guides, Mrs. Eric Phillips, presided at the first annual meeting of the Oshawa Gir! Guide Associa- tion. The Commissioner, in her report, stated that there were 185 Girl Guides in the six com- panies in the city; 76 Brownies in the four Brownie Packs and 12 Rangers in the Sea Rangers. A. A. Crowle was elected chairman of the Board of Gov- ernors of the Union Cemetery for the ensuing year. Oshawa Public Utilities Com- mission set aside $50,000 to give Oshawa power users a 12 per- cent rebate on their 1931 elec- tric bills. The Kiwanis Club staged a very successful skating carnival in the Oshawa Arena. Oshawa Rifle and Revolver Club stood sixth in the Dominion Marksmen's Senior competition and third in competition for the province. The team members were N. F. Tonkin, Arthur What- tam, Neil Felt, Gordon Rat- cliffe and Ed Burns. At a joint meeting of the Osh- awa Family Welfare Board and the executive of the Associated Welfare Societies, Miss Jane McGillicuddy of Toronto, was appointed secretary of the board. A. G. Storie presided at the meeting. Albert St. United Church Bro- therhood held its first annual banquet with President F. Stir- tevant presiding. Ross Strike, barrister, of Bowmanville, was the guest speaker, Past Chancellor Frank L. Ma- son of Lodge No. 47, Knights of Pythias, took a prominent part in the 25th anniversary celebra- tion of the Lodge. John Gibson, superintendent of the Assembly Line at General Motors, was honored by his Staff associates with a presen- tation and address upon his re- tirement after 46 years' service. The Oshawa _ Intermediates won the second game of the group finals against Bowman- ville, 10-0. Kelly, Peterson and Rowden were the big scorers.

Fullerton Lots Of Subjects For Good Debates By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- There will be good fights at this session. But for a change there also will be more than good fights. For years now, it seems, we have looked forward to sessions here mainly in terms of con- flict. - Who was going to be fighting who and on what! But this year there are ques- tions of interest--a whole load of them on which there will be debate and in many cases ac- tion. Here are just some of them: MEAT--MARGARINE Tainted meat: What will the province do? Probably an- anounce a deal with Ottawa to extend its inspection to all meat slaughtered in Ontario. Liquor. changes: You prob- ably have read about these now- at writing they are to be an- nounced momentarily. Colored margarine: This will be brought up probably by in- dividual members. It is un- likely that any party as such will risk offending the farmers by espousing it Point system: Changes are to be made. They probably will reduce the term of suspension from three months to one in some cases, JOBS-COPS Employment: There will be a lot of talk--and no solutions, of course. This is a long - term problem. Nobody has an over- night answer--though they will try to convince you they have. Police commission: Premier Robarts, who has patience is TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 1, 1962... Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., 20-months-old son of the fa- mous aviator, was_ kid- napped from his parents home in Hopewell, N.J., 30 years ago today -- in 1932. The boy was found dead May 12.

Hospital commission: Are we going to be able to afford hospi- tal insurance without a boost in premiums? The boost won't come this year. but we should begin to know whether it is in- evitable. "Scandal"! The Committee Redistribution: Wil) it be han- dled by an independent com- mittee? How big will the new house be? 110 members? Will it be a gerrymander? Will the Liberals continue to make progress as they did last fall and in the by-elections? Will the NDP. get anywhere with its biggest feud of all--with the Liberals? This is only surface-scratch- ing. The list could go on for columns.
