| Bye Oshawa Fines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, APRIL 30, 1962-----PAGE 6 Must Resist Pressure To Ease Point Scheme Despite official denials, reports persist that Ontario's demerit point system is to be softened. There should be a great public outcry against such proposed action. To increase the number of points for automatic sus- pension of licence, to reduce the points now charged to specific driving offences, to give special treatment to those who happen to drive for aliving -- these suggestions, if put into force, would constitute a great leap back- ward by the Department of Transport. Ultimately, the point system would become a joke. There is obviously steady pressure for a weaker demerit system being exerted on the Department, but who is applying it? Eighty-five per cent of Ontario's drivers have not collected any demerit points in the 22 months the system has been in operation. W. M. Earl, registrar of motor vehic- les, said a short time ago that profes- sional drivers. are not having any difficulty with the system. Public opinion surveys time and again have shown that most drivers approve of stricter measures to improve highway Forty Years Forty years ago, almost to the day, the Oshawa Council of Women voted in favor of the removal of the govern- ment ban on the sale of margarine. The vote was taken after Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin, Council president, had read a paper prepared by Mrs. Frank Chappell, on the value of margarine as a food. There has been some progress made during the four decades since that Council meeting. Margarine is now sold in the stores, providing consumers with a cheap, nutritious spread, but, as every Ontario house- wife knows all too well, a silly effort is still made to restrict its sale by a ban on coloring; the manufacturer is forbidden to add color to the mar- garine during the manufacturing pro- cess, but can include a "bud" of color .in the package so that the consumer ean mix in the color at home. This does not hamper sales, but it does annoy housewives, whose protests grow increasingly bitter and loud. Who can blame them? The petty safety. Who, then, is trying to destroy the demerit system? The only clue is that some members of the Ontario Legislature have criticized the system because of its "harshness" or because it makes no distinction between people who drive for pleasure and those who drive because it's their job. The state of traffic safety, or lack of it, calls for stricter rather than softer measures. We believe that the penalties should be increased, along with enforcement efforts. We need, for example, more provincial police on the roads, in more patrol cars. The suggestion that preference be shown one class of drivers is into- lerable. How many strictly pleasure drivers are there on the roads at any one time? Can illiterate -people in wrecks of trucks be called professional drivers or hare-brained adolescents in light deliveries? Your true profes- sional driver is an expert, too skilful to need special favors. Let there be no fooling with high- way safety. It is literally a matter of life and death. ' Progress annonyance of coloring develops into a constant irritation when it is realized that the petty bantis derided by the great majority of the people of the province and that it was imposed to curry favor with a segment of the farm population that has been heavily subsidized by taxpayers for years. The butter producers are favored people indeed. They are permitted to add coloring to their product but their competitors are not. They are guaranteed a good price for their product, whether there is any demand for it or not -- the government keeps buying it and storing it and occasion- ally selling it at a loss, all at the ex- pense of the poor citizen who, bur- dened by a massive weight of taxes, cannot afford "the high priced spread' even if he wanted to buy it. The color-ban, of course, is a pro- vincial matter and the butter support federal. But between them the two governments the consumer is taking a beating. Mental Health Campaign (The following editorial was con- tributed by the Rev. F. Swack- hammer, president of the Oshawa- Ontario County branch of the Cana- dian Mental Health Association.) During the First World War a chaplain in France received a letter from a young boy who was just be- ginning to write. The letter con- cluded with these words, "I send you my love and I hope you will live all your life." As. you turn the words over in your mind I think you will see in this boyish desire a good ex- pression of the aims and the purpose of the Canadian Mental Health Association. It is the desire of the Association that by under- standing ourselves, our society and the tensions of our day, we may be able with direction and strength to wholly alive to life. . The words of the boy suggest that many of us do not live all our lives. They remind us that there is a difference between living and being She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publicher C.

They carry a vague hint that some of us live not with the whole but with only a part of ourselves. Only one-tenth of an iceberg is visible. The remainder is continually submerged and it is this part of the ice mass which catches or is caught by the ocean currents and guides the direction of the whole. The Canadian Mental Health Association, of which the Oshawa-Ontario County branch ig an important part, seeks basically to do three things. First we seek to understand and know the whole 'ice- berg', the open and the hidden part of the human personality. We seek further to know and understand the currents and tides of human society that drive the personality along into all its contacts and conflicts with life. And finally the aim is to assist those who find life just too much, too hard, and who need help from outside to keep them going to the best of their capacity. You can understand the immensity of the task and the almost limitless need. It is important that we provide the necessary means for research and education in this vast field. It is necessary that as many of us as 'possible become engaged in this pro- ject of helpfulness and service, There is a very basic spiritual principle here -- by giving understanding and nelp we understand and are helped.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What is endometritis, what causes it, and can it be cured? Is is pos- sible to get pregnant while hav- ing this? I. R. It is inflammation of the lin- ing of the uterus. It can result from a miscarriage, from some difficulty in the birth of a child, from the presence of infection, or in fact anything that can in- flame a mucous membrane, It can ordinarily be cured, the treatment varying (according to severity) from simple medica- tion to a D. and C., mean- ing dilation and curretage (or scraping) of the inflamed area. It is possible to become preg- nant while having this, but the problem is an interfering ele- ment. Dear Sir: Please settle a 'QUEEN'S PARK question. My family has always taken vitamins at bedtime. Now a friend of hiine says they should be taken in the morning so as to get the benefit in the davtime. I would like. to make certain before continuing my practice of bedtime dole- outs. MRS. J. S. This is nonsense, and there are too many serious matters to absorb us without making an argument out of whether v mins should be taken in morning or at night. If we eat a reasonably bal- anced diet, we get the vitamins we need in our food. But if we insist on taking vitamins whether we need extra portions or not, we shouldn't waste time worrying about what time of day to do it.

His party, other question. Not that it suffered out of the session as such. But there was one comparison that came to mind often during the sittings. This was that the government ship had a good new skipper in the premier. And a good new sail in Economics Minister Ro- bert Macaulay. But the bottom? It was obvi- ously not sound. And would they be able to repair it before it sunk them? MAKE DOCK? The hull that Mr. Robarts in- herited from Premier Frost was hardly a seaworthy one. Its timbers were creaking. ome of them had dry 'rot. Oth- ers were covered in barnacles. To date the new premier has had to try and sail this ship with only emergency repairs. Now he has to try and get it into dry-dock and recondition it. And the question, the large question, is can he do it? It won't be easy. One would say, in fact, it is unlikely he can find the proper haven until he goes through an election OWN MEN? Mr. Robarts can reform his cabinet. He undoubtedly will before too long. He can reorganize the party's professional machinery. And this is already underway. But these are only partial re- pairs. In adding to his cabinet he can only choose from what he has available And these are not men that he brought into government but men who came in under Leslie Frost It will take an election before he can name men who are strictly Robarts men--and get that loyalty wWich every good leader must have. HOUSE CLEAN? And then until an election he can't clean house. And. this is probably a need greater even than cabinet remodelling. There is much dead-wood in the present P.C. ranks. It reflects on the public im- pression of the party. It also has some influence on the party thinking. Can Mr.. Robarts get it? He might At one point in the early ~~. of the session you would however, is an- rid of have given odds that the new premier would take a pasting when he went to the polls. He took charge, however, and quickly changed that picture (You would now give him prob- ably a 50-50 chance.) He also might be able to do the needed reconditioning job on his party Just might as many vitamins, and it does them just as much good. Dear Dr. Molner: I was steri- lized, tubes tied, in 1950, not due to any disease but because we had had six children and I was anemic and run down. I am now 41 years old and a widow in good health, I have met a gentleman who wants to marry me. Can I have the steriliza- tion undone? M. M. Maybe. In some cases the ends of the tubes can be sewed together, provided not too much scar tissue has formed from the tying or severing of the tubes. There is no positive way of being sure of success, how- ever. And that's one reason why I frown on tying the tubes for this purpose. It's so often ner- manent. To see whether any- thing can be done now, consult a gynecologist. Dear Dr. Molner: What about a congested larynx? Is vitamin A good for it? H. J. C. Forget about vitamins in this regard. If the congestion is chronic, perhaps with cough or change in voice, see a throat specialist to make sure it isn't from some serious cause such as a tumor or even an early cancer, But if the congestion (and hoarseness) is a temporary re- sult of an ordinary cold or the like, then: 1. stop smoking; 2, avoid inhaling irritating fumes if you have any reason to en- counter them; 3, don't talk too much; 4, using a steam in halator, either plain or with aromatic medication added, will speed relief. Note to MRS. E. C.: I agree with you and your husband: A baby is not '"'marked" while the mother is carrying it. And quarter of a million doctors will say the same thing. But I don't think you' can do anything about a grandmother who happens to have been infected with this false notion half a century or more ago. Just be tactful with grandma -- and set your own mind at ease. REPORT FROM UK. Subsidized Rents Spark Hot Debate By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland--John S. Maclay, secretary of state for Scotland, has -stirred up a tumult of protest which is like- ly to have a profound effect on the forthcoming municipal elect- ions in Scottish towns and cities. Subject of Mr. Maclay's pro- nouncements which are creating a furor is the amount of rent being charged by municipal councils to the tenants of their council houses. He has issued a warning that Scottish council house rents are far too low, and that there must be increases in order to bring into balance the interest of the tenants and those of the taxpayers in general: The point at issue is the fact that council house rents are so low that they have to be subsidized by the taxpayers from their gen- eral rates. There ate two sides to the story. The taxpayers complain bitterly that their municipal tax- es, or rates as they are called over here, are soaring in order to meet the heavy deficits on the council house schemes. The ten- ants, on the other hand, are pro- testing against their rents being raised. And they are much more vocal, and hostile to the local authorities than are the tax- payers, because they are being backed by Labor candidates for seats on local councils. And these candidates are making a hot election out of the rent sit- uation. FIGHT IN EDINBURGH 'In the city of Edinburgh, the issue has become a lively po- litical football between the Pro- gressives, or Conservatives, who control the council, and their Labor opponents. The. Progres- sives have worked out a scheme whereby the amount of rent will be linked to family income. Where three or four in one family are working and bringing money into the house, the rents will be increased in accordance with their means. This has given the Labor party a real issue on which to fight the coming elect- ion, and its members are mak- ing the most of it. They are holding mass meetings of ten- ants, making fiery speeches, and generally trying to turn the pop- ulace against their opponents who have sponsored the scheme to increase rent revenues. MINISTER's VIEWS In his warning to the author- ities, the secretary of state for Scotland said that he does not think an average of $1.50 to $1.70 a week for rent is a rea- sonable charge. The average rent for a council house in Scot- land is somewhere between these two figures. He points out that a policy of keeping rents artificially low is unfair to tax- payers with low incomes who do not live in council houses. Some councils have already acted and increased rents. Mr. Maclay is now showing that he means what he says, The county council of Dumbar- tonshire decided not to increase rents for the present, but to re- consider the position in October. Mr. Maclay has bluntly refused to allow the council to extend the present rents until then. He has issued an order to the ef- fect that the present rents must not be continued beyond May 15, but must be increased after that date. This indication that the minister is going to be tough on this rent question is likely to in- fluence many other councils to fall in line with his views. OTTAWA REPORT Members' Divorce Blockade Blasted By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- "The Pharisees came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it law- ful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And He answered and said unto them. "What God hath joined to- gether» let no man put asun- der." That phrase of St. Matthew's Gospel is the cornerstone of the belief of those followers of Christ who are opposed to di- vorce. But that ordinance in the good book cannot be the reason why F. Howard, the CCF-NDP MP from Skeena, B.C., played a leading role in the divorce filibuster in the recent session of Parliament. He described himself in the Parliamentary Guide as an "'agnostic."" His partner in filibustering, Arnold Peters, CCF-NDP MP from Timiskaming, has no bet- ter acquaintance with welfare work and the handling of bro- ken marriages, such as might justify such intervention in ac- tual divorces For, before being elected to Parliament he, like Howard, was an official of the International Woodworkers of America. HARDSHIP WROUGHT Why then did those two men put into jeopardy the happiness of more than 1,000 Canadians, and their expenditure of much time and worry and more than $500,000? Since Quebec and Newfound land have no divorce courts, residents of those two prov- inces must seek relief from broken marriages by appealling to the Federal Parliament for a special act dissolving their union. Last session more than 600 such appeals were made. A total of 327 were approved by the Senate after thorough examination; nine were. with- drawn; three were rejected: and more than 250 were crowded out. But those 327 could not be completed because Howard and Peters "talked them out" and thus prevented the House of Commons giving them final approval. _ So today many planned wedd- ings in Quebec and Newfound- land are being cancelled. Sep- arated couples find themselves still bound against, their will. Children already born and yet to be born are deprived of legitimacy. Separation pay- ments must be maintained. Un- wed wives cannot have their status regularized. Thus these Canadians, who in good faith put themselves to the expense and trouble to con- form to the present require- ments of the law of Canada, have been victimized by How- ard and Peters. Their motive, we must as- sume, was not objection to di- vorcey but a craving for the limelight and seeking to obtain it by continuing the old, old in- BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO A. G. Storie, retiring presi- dent of the Ontario Flying Club, was honored at a testimonial dinner at the Airport. A life membership certificate was pre- sented to Mr. Storie by Hayden Macdonald, president of the club, in recognition of his con- tribution and success to the organization. John Brady was appointed to the Oshawa Separate School Board to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Gerald Patterson. Mr. Brady was president of the Osh- awa and District Softball Association. Mrs. T. C. Grigg was elected president of the Past Matrons' Club of the Order of the East- ern Star, to succeed the retiring president, Mrs. Harry Shelley. Jack Boothe, cartoonist of the Globe and Mail, delighted mem- bers of the Times-Gazette- Mundy Goodfellow Bowling League with his artistry at their annual banquet in the Masonic Temple. George Russell was named first vice-president of the Osh- awa Kinsmen Club, following the resignation of Jack Cavers, who left to assume a position at the Wesson Memorial Hospi- tal, Springfield. R. B. Wilkins was presented with a gold watch, the gift of present and former teachers of Calvary Baptist Sunday School, in recognition of 17 years of service as SS Superintendent.

Do men confuse "virility" with fertility? Is the problem of a childless marriage becoming more common? d in May Reader's Digest answers to flexible CCF protest against the Pescedure of divorce-by-parlia- ment. _ CHANGE DESIRABLE It is, and long has been, widely agreed that the present system is not ideal But in this country of compromise it has seemed to be the best available compromise, bearing in mind the beliefs of the majority of Quebeckers. Great leaders of the CCF in the past, J. S, Woodsworth and M. J. Coldwell, and their followers, have ar- gued with force and conviction that the system is an abuse of Parliament; many _parliamen- tarians of other parties agree with them. But although speaking against the system, none have ever be- fore victimized private citizens by killing their divorce bills, as was so wantonly done by this mere couple of MPs. At the end, Howard and Peters had not effected any change; they had not even scored over their political oppo- nents. The casualties left groan- ing on the floor of Patliament were hundreds of innocent Ca- nadians. This left a foul taste in the mouth of Parliament. Manv -- Senators and MPs have said that, by. imposing this hardship on sO many private Canadians through their own immature posturing in the limelight, How- ard and Peters merely demon- strated their own lack of bal- ance, their unstatesmanlike egotism, and even their unsuit- ability to represent in Parlia- ment Canadian citizens whose feelings they will thus sacrifice for their own political ambition.
