'tors ¢ Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1962--PAGE 6 More To Worry About Than Fear And Death Ban-the-bomb paraders made more than their usual fuss during the Easter weekend. They carried lots of placards in lots of cities and made lots of speeches and got lots of publicity. But not in the placards or the speeches or the publicity could we notice any pertinent reference to the Communist. role in resumption of bomb.tests and the blockade of dis- armament efforts. To our knowledge no effort was made to carry the message into the Communist coun- tries. And the paraders and speech- makers seemed to be concerned exclu- sively with nuclear weapons. It may be that these people are chronic exhibitionists and if they did not have the bomb to yell about, they would be parading for the aboli- tion of some other thréat to mankind, like left-handed monkey wrenches or luminous bow ties. It may be that most of them are well-intentioned but emotionally over-charged. It may be that they are being manipulated by the cynical but grimly dedicated handful: of people dedicated to the defeat of democracy. But their de- monstrations reveal more than sup- positions and possibilities. The first obvious revelation is that the parades have concentrated their terrors in the bomb. They do not seem to be at all worried by the fact that conventional weapons can also cause savage destruction, and incredible suf- fering--the fire raids on Tokyo killed more people and caused more total damage than the atomic bombs drop- ped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Are their fears purely selfish? The second revelation is that they are more afraid of the bomb than they are of subjection by the Com- munists. They would choose life -- at any cost. Perhaps they think that, the bomb out of the way, they will live for ever. The third revelation is that, what- ever their intention, they are playing the game of the people who would destroy the free nations. If we can be disarmed, we can be defeated with- out a fight. Only a madman would relish the thought of a nuclear war. All reason- able people shudder at the possibility of such a war, and pray for peace. But we preserve the peace only by our strength. Many of us had to fight a savage war only a couple of decades ago because aggressors thought we were too weak to curb their ambi- tions. And the dead of that war are just as dead because they were killed "conventionally" as if they had been cremated by a nuclear explosion. Conflict About Facts While the ban-the-bomb demonstra- tors discussed in the above editorial were putting on their displays, more practical men were striving to work out an agreement that would at least reduce the risk of nuclear war. The big obstacle to such agreement has been Soviet opposition to a system of international inspection -- or "verifi- cation", as it is now politely called. After accepting in principle the idea of inspection by some reliable means, the Russians changed their minds and have been insisting that all the West has to do is to accept their word -- and the West has learned by bitter experience that the Russians' word is not good enough. Lord Home ,the British foreign minister, put the Western view simply and bluntly in the House of Lords: "What happens if there is a noise in Russia which we or the United States think is a test and the Russians say that it is not or vice versa? Who is to decide?" Then he told this story: "When I arrived in Berlin, the CBC And Its Rightly or wrongly the Canadian sroadecasting Corporation has always met with considerable criticism. Such criticism abated considerably when it »was shorn of regulatory powers over its competitors. Old enemies left it alone. Friends hoped that it would when free from the bother of regu- lating others, devote itself to public service broadcasting with even greater zeal. Instead, however, CBC appears to have used its energies to travel in quite another direction. Instead of regulating its competitors, it began to compete with them in the commer- cial arena. It sold more and more advertising, for soaps, detergents, toothpaste, automobiles and almost anything that could be depicted on the screen. It has a strong advantage She Oshawa Times T. L.

It was dropped by six Russian bombers from eonger feet and the corridors we ll of metal chaff for four to six hours, I told Mr. Gromyko of this. He looked me straight in the eye and said that this did not happen at all. This did happen. I could produce many, many witnesses to prove that it happened. This is a very serious conflict of opinion on fact. In the absence of a verifieation system in the context of nuclear tests, what is to prevent the Russian government from looking us straight in the eye and saying exactly the same thing?" The answer is obvious. The Russians were preparing their last series of nuclear tests even while they were discussing the terms of a possible permanent ban on nuclear tests. The West treating with them in good faith. That was their most recent performance. It confirmed that something more than good faith is needed, Revenues over other broadcasters in that it can make commercial arrangements they could not possibly afford, because it can make up the difference from the public purse. Whether CBC can continue its pitch to advertisers and their agencies and serve its non-commercial responsibi- lity at one and the same time without losing its balance is a question. Some of its friends are becoming somewhat critical -- they are inclined to agree with the director-general of the BBC in Britain that a publicly financed broadcasting service should not be in- volved in commercialism at all. Ultimately the public must make up its mind if the CBC's mind is to be made up for it. If the CBC is to renounce commercialism, of course, someone will have to pay its bills -- and that someone must be the tax- payer. The question of CBC commer- cialism then, is at least the tax- payer's concern as it is the CBC's. The total bill could be steep. Even with advertising, it is up around $70 million now.

It is a much more formidable and dangerous opponent than even they realize. Nothing is to be gained from under- estimating an opponent.

Britain's Skating Champions Get Warm Welcome By PATRICK NICHOLSON Distinguished visitors to the Parliament Building are always warmly welcomed, and there was nothing icy about the greet- ing extended to two young Ca- nadian champions of the ice. Pretty 17-year-old Wendy Griner and Don Jackson, a vet- eran champion though still in his very early 20s, are Cana- dian skating champions, and this year's runner-up, and win- ner respectively in the world championships. They were guest stars in the annual Minto Follis ice show staged by the famous Ottawa skating club named after a former governor general. QUEEN'S PARK constituency Largely to Don's dazzling dis- play, including his sensational double-Lutz jump and _ triple Lutz, and to Wendy's beautiful performance the 1962 Follies were rated the best-ever since the days of Barbara Ann Scott. Mike Starr and his wife, Anne, entertained the cham- pions and their mothers to lunch in the parliamentary rest- aurant, and Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. chatted with them for thirty minutes and showed them the historic arti- cles in his office. The Jacksons live in Mike Starr's constituency of Oshawa; the Griners live in the Rosedale f Toronto, whose Great Job Done By New Premier By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Premier Robarts did a magnificent job in han- dling the House at his first ses- sion. Any man who would against this would be bigoted indeed. In his attitude towards the opposition the premier was courteous, tolerant and patient and left the impression of hav- ing a high regard for parlia- mentary traditions and _ the place of the opposition. He gave it much more lee- way than it has had in any re- cent years. And a result was that the session was probably both more interesting and more valuable than any. session in a long time. The interest was not always exciting but reading practically any day's Hansard will show you that there was a tremen- dous amount of information brought out. In fact for anyone with an interest in either politics or ed- ucation, reading of the official debates on the two sittings when the premier's own educa- tion estimates were discussed should be most rewarding, GAINED STATURE On the other hand Mr. Ro- barts kept his own party on an even keel and well out of trou- ble. Through this alone he greatly gained in stature at the session. When he first led the House back in November he had a very discontented group of sup- porters indeed. The dissidents outnumbered those loyal to him. They had lost a convention and they didn't have much faith in his leadership. And they weren't quickly con- verted. For this the new was mainly responsible. Those lukewarm to him--par- ticularly the old guard--would have had him come out with lusty political attacks against the opposition. This he refused to do. He kept to his own character, most strongly marked by patience and calm and waited his time. Eventually, of course, this time came. First there was the handling of the Hydro strike. Immedi- ately on top of that came set- tlerhent of the highly conten- tious Royal York Hotel dis- pute. And then came his bold liquor changes: When these argue very premier last were ac- cepted by the House practically without a murmur his star was really established on high. Ontario now has a PC leader whom one would say is firmly rooted. He is a man with a twinkle in his eye, a patient man with a very practical outlook, a man not afraid to admit he is wrong, one with at least some vision of his own and the capacity to accept the vision of others. He is a man you both like and respect. Royal College of Physicians issued a grave warning; the Italian government took steps to curb cigarette smoking; mothers were warned that "smoking makes smaller ba- bies."" But our parliament build- ings took steps to make smok- ing more widespread. The House of Commons reading room, long a haven for chatter, tobacco smoke and coffee, was equipped with ash-trays and a 10:30 a.m. coffee service as long - standing rules were re- scinded. AND WHO LOVES LOVERS? The recent Supreme Court judgment that D. H. Law- rence's famous novel Lady Chatterley's Lover is not ob- scene has prompted a renewed demand for this book from the Parliamentary Library. The library possesses five copies of this novel, but Lady Chatterley's niche on the shelves is empty, without any record that a copy has been borrowed by any MP. 'Many MPs take out a book of that nature without register- ing their name as the bor- rower," a library official told me. "I guess they are a little coy about publicising their choice in reading matter." SURVIVAL IN A-ATTACK The Emergency Measures Or- ganization says if Canada were to be attacked the more likely target areas would be our 16 largest cities, including Mont- real, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City and Niagara Falls. For residents in these likely target areas, "'there is no certain way of being safe, and no simple answer to whether people should 'duck or run',"" This, of course, makes grater sense than ever of How- ard Green's unremitting fight for total nuclear ban on a world-wide scale. REPORT FROM UK. Ballot Counting Methods Checked By M. MCINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.- Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- An _ unexpected aftermath of the recent by- election in Orpington, Kent is a decision by Home Secretary R. A. Butler to have an_ inquiry held into the counting of ballots at parliamentary elections. On the occasion of the Orpington election, TV cameramen, press reporters and news reel photo- graphers were milling around inside the room while the count- ing was going on, Television viewers were able to see the votes for the respective can- didates being piled up in bun- dies on their tables. One complaint made in the House of Commons was that the television broadcast of the counting gave an entirely inac- curate picture of how the elect- ion was going. In showing the tables with the counted bundles of votes, it gave the impres- sion that the Tory and Liberal candidates were running neck- and-neck, whereas it must have been evident from the start of the count that the Liberal can- didate was far ahead of the Con- servative. To understan¢ the reason for the inquiry, it should be point- ed out that the system of ballot counting in British elections is entirely different from that used in Canada. In Canada, the counting is done in each in- dividual polling station, and the figures for each poll announced separately Thus it is that one finds, in Canadian elections, pro- gress reporte showing, for ex- ample, that one candidate or an- other is leading by so many votes with 60 out of 150 polls re- ported. That could not happen in Bri- tish elections. The system here is quite different. As soon as the polls are closed, the deputy. re- turning ofifcers rush their bal- lots boxes to a central hall where the counting is done. Us- ually it is the town hall of the community. There each box is checked in, and one by one the boxes are opened and the bal- lots turned over for counting to a large staff of tellers. The votes for the candidates are separated, and those in favor of each tied up in bundles of 100. These bundles are deposited on tables, with a separate table for each candidate, and scrutineers keep a count of the number of bundles on each table. But no figures are available until the count is absolutely completed- all the bundles counted, and the odd votes added to give the can- didate's total. Then the return- ing officer or possibly the may- or if the community, announces the final result. These are the only figures announced during the tabulation of the vote. The subject of the inquiry which is to be held is that of deciding to what extent press, television and newsreel people should be allowed into the count- ing room while the ballots are being counted. If they are to be admitted at all, then there will probably be some restrictions on what can be shown on tele- vision and the extent to which those admitted are sworn to secrecy. READERS' VIEWS More Opinions On Strike Topic Dear Sir: I have been looking for let- ters on the subject of strikes, after you invited people to use your columns for discussion of the subject, but so far I have seen just one. That was from a man in Whitby and I do not think he is a union man, al- though he may be. I am dis- appointed that the union mem- bers who had a lot to say about the situation between the Mine- Mill union and the Steelworkers in Sudbury do not have an opin- jon on the subject of whether something better than the strike can be found to settle disputes between management and labor. I have been a union man for 30 years and I was brought up in a union family in England. I will remain a union man until I die, because without a good union the individual working man is nothing. But that doesn't mean that I think all unions are perfect or that our leaders never make mistakes. I think our leaders would do well to think less about their rivalries and political advance- ment and more about the real problems of labor. And there is no doubt, as Mr. Mahoney said in Vancouver, one of our big problems right now is the strike. It has been said that nobody wins a strike any more. I don't know about the companies, but I sure know about the worker. If a man earning about two dol- lars an hour stays out on strike for more than a few days, it takes him years of work to make up what he lost. It took our family two years to clear our grocery bill after one strike. Sure we have gained a lot, in extra wages and benefits, but we have lost a lot too. There should be a better way and I think it could be found. Perhaps the way is through in- dustrial or labor courts, which would operate just like the courts of law. People accept the judgment of our courts now, and if the labor courts could be set up the same way, I don't see why their judgments could not be accepted too. I would like to see some opinions about it.

HUGH MASH, RR 2, Oshawa CITY MANAGER Dear Sir: Last March 20, I contributed to 'Readers' Views' my view of Jack Gearin's column of March 17. Apart from a refer- ence to his previous accolade of high praise to certain alder. men and a digression on the municipa! survey, my com- ments applied exclusively to his March 17 column. Since then our columnist has collated and written much evi- dence in support of his own opinion on the subject of the City Manager system of gov- ernment. Now, in his column of April 13 (almost a month latef) he alleges I cast "serious doubts on recent statements." What does he mean by "re- cent statements?" I construe that all he has written since March 17 is recent. But, so as to remove any ambiguity I must make it absolutely clear that -- unless telepathic -- I have not cast any doubts, seri- ous or otherwise, in Jack Gearin's direction since my let- ter of March 20. Regarding these serious doubts he men- tions, I had no intention of creating doubt. I sought en- lightenment on something ob- scure. I merely asked that Mr Gearin be specific as to the where and when of the wide en- dorsation he mentioned. Now, from his April 13 col- umn, I learn that a detailed list of Canadian cities and towns using the CM system was published earlier in the year. Here, I must confess, I am not a consistent reader of Jack Gearin or, even of the Oshawa Times. From this you will ap- preciate that the facts which may have -made his article TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 25, 1962... Representatives of 46 na- tions met at San Francisco 17 years ago today--in 1945 --to prepare the charter for the United Nations. The con- ference took place at a time when the wars in Europe and the Pacific were rap- idly drawing to a close and represented the hope of a war-scarred world for per- manent peace. 1845 -- Fredericton was created a Cathedral city, the first in North America. 1859--Construction of the Suez Canal began. clear to me were probably missed by me "earlier in the year." But let's assume that Mr. Gearin has a nice sense of proportion and that his use of the term "wide endorsation" is justified. So what? So many things have been and are be- ing widely endorsed ihese days that the term has little or no significance. World history has shown us the wide endorsation of Fascism, Nazism and Com- munism, and tie coi ces. In commerce we have hed big cars, little cars; vitamins, won- der drugs, detergents; cork tips, filter tips; all having en- joyed or enjoying wide endors- ation. Here, in the name of reason, | submit that today's wide endorsation of anything, including any system .of ie administration, is no criterion or guarantee of its future or ultimate value. Referring back to the April - 13 column there is a factual little article which certainly substantiates Jack Gearin's line of thought on the CM ques- tion. He directs his readers to note the last sentence of the article. Here it is: "I know of no cities in Canada which abandoned City Manager ministration once they hav tried it' (T. J. McKibbon, Clerk of the Corporation, City of King ston, Ont.) Again, I am tempted to say, so what? But, presumably, from this somewhat negative observation the reader is ex- pected to deduce a positive conclusion that City Managers are giving better civic admin- istration than obtains in any~- council administered commu- nity. Are they? That fs the question. . I perceive something entirely different in Mr. McKibbon's observation. To me the reason the CM system has not been abandoned is precisely the same reason for council ad- ministration not having been abandoned. Both systems are part of the evolutionary process in civic affairs and which {s the better remains to be seen. To conclude I have penned a little historical note for the benefit of those who think we should take a running jump at the CM band-wagon because it has the virtue of being mod- ern and up-to-date: "Sumter, a city of South Carolina, 1950 population 20,185, was the first city to adopt the City Manage- ment form of government -- FIFTY YEARS AGO."
