he Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1962--PAGE 6-- Britain Cant Escape 'The Grip Of Canada gets weekly assurance from British minister that Commonwealth interests will not be forgotten in Britain's negotiations with the Com- mon Market. At this stage of the proceedings, the assurance are neces- sarily vague -- and somewhat hollow. There is an irresistible attraction be- tween Britain and the Common Market, economically and politically, and their coming together can only be temporarily delayed. This was undoubtedly in the mind of Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan this week when he address- ed a Canadian Press dinner meeting in Toronto. Running through his speech was a plea for Canadian understanding of Britain's position. "Every time we have tried to escape from the grip of Europe we have been drawn back," he said. "If things go wrong in Europe, we are immedia- tely involved -- and so, indeed, are you." Yet if things went right, he added, the European community could drawn on an immense power for self- enrichment and for aid to under- developed countries. "How can Britain best serve the Commonwealth and how can it best serve the world? Is it best for us to have nothing to do with the community of Europe? Or Europe is it best for us to play our full part in this development?" We believe there is only one answer: Britain cannot divorce herself from Europe for her own sake and for the sake of the free world. If Western Europe falls back into a state of rivalry between its nations for political and economic power, Communism will resume its westward march of subjection. The economic ties of the Common Market are not strong enough to hold the countries together; their economic relations at present are approximately what they were in the years preceding 1913; and a series of. severe economic reverses would be enough to strain and snap those ties. The cement will be the political ties, now being worked on. But it is clear from the discuussions which have taken place that Britain is needed to give the proposed political community the necessary stability. Canada will be hurt, to a degree depending on the vigor or weakness of federal trade policies. But the hurt will be temporary, and far less serious than would be the injury of a frag- mented Western Europe. There is no reason why an Atlantic Community should not develop from the European Community. Then our rewards would be great. Eternity In Our Hearts By THE REV. JOHN K. MOFFAT Simcoe St. United Church, Oshawa In Greenwich Observatory, where the world's time is kept the clocks are mounted on concrete piers which are sunk deep into the earth to avoid vibration. They are housed in a room kept at a constant temperature. Every 28 seconds they are wound automati- cally but, despite all these precautions, they do not keep perfect time. Each night they are corrected by checking the movement of the earth on its axis in relation to fixed stars millions of light years away-man gets his true time only from the sky. Isn't this a parable of our spiritual life? God has planted Eternity in our hearts and man's fullest life is achieved only in fellowship with Him. To suppose, for instance, that courage, love, memory, devotion, unselfishness, kindness, and. understanding spring from nothing is a preposterous idea. Equally untenable is the notion that man invented these convictions. They were not invented at all. Rather are they part of us, placed in us at creation by a power outside of us. They were in the universe from the very beginning. In the be- ginning came God, as the Bible never ceases to remind us, and in the full- ness of time He chose to reveal all of Himself that our finite minds can grasp in the man Christ Jesus. And all that is fine and true and beautiful in human personality is but our response to Him. Thank God, then, for those hours of insight when faith is reborn, the horizons of belief expand, our vision grows clear and we come to know beyond all shadow of doubt that "God is in everything. working for good with those who love Him." Racial Please For Votes We're getting pretty sick of the way politicians of all stripes are trying to win the votes of so-called ethnic groups by assuring them their "spe- cial interests" will be looked after. What special interests? Have immi- grants who have become citizens any special interests of national concern that are not shared by other Cana- dians? Of course not. What the poli- ticians are doing is feeding old rival- ries and suspicions, and this is not in the best interests of the people directly concerned or of the country at large. Canadians can pride themselves on their diversity of origin and culture and on the fact that a surprising unity has been achieved without any enforced melting-pot process. But we can preserve and strengthen this unity only if we recognize that we are Canadians, no matter where the accident of birth placed us when we She Osharwn Times T. L.

Unity is impossible if we constantly view the government of Canada through the eyes of a Briton, an American, a German, an Italian, an Ukrainian or an Outer Mongolian. The people who have come to Can- ada from other lands, and who have contributed so magnificiently to its development, now live their lives here and are surely interested in the issues that daily affect their lives -- the issues of trade and econmic deve- lopment and taxation and employment that have a direct influence on how they live their lives each hour of every day. Do ethnic groups need special cham- pions? The politicians seem to think 80, but we do not. If the politicians are right, then they, the legislators and the makers of policy, have been derelict in their duty. But they are not right. They are simply making cynical and disgusting efforts to gain votes by appeals to bigotry, prejudice and narrow nationalism.

If one doesn't work, another ; should be tried. But that's just Aches And Buzzes By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My prob- lem is high blood pressure, which is causing headaches and buzzing in the ear. I have been taking a pill, but with no im- provement. I have a fluctuating pressure, and such things as coffee or a cigaret cause an immediate rise. Alcohol has the opposite effect for the time being.--.VH. Controlling high blood pres- sure most decidedly is not de- pendent un a single factor, such as a pill. A complex approach is necessary if you are to get anywhere. There are some matters in which the patient has to leave just about everything to the doctor; there are others, like this, in which the doctor can't expect to accomplish much un- less he can persuade the patient to do his part, day by day, hour by hour. There are different causes of high blood pressure, and some- times combinations of causes: kidney disease, disease of the arteries, excessive weight, gen- eral high living» and tension, to name the main ones. In treatment, a variety of OTTAWA REPORT 'Main-Streeting With Diefenbaker By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The folksy home- coming is the carefully prear- ranged highlight staged by every ambitious politician. But the MP for Prince Albert keeps his own version of this still on the level of the routine midday exercise which he began when he first made his home there exactly forty years ago. Quite simply and unostenta- tiously- he walks along the main street, officially named Central Avenue. He pauses to chat with old friends and to shake hands with acquaintances. He drops into a lunchcounter for a cup of coffee, or steps into a store to greet a friend who works there. Thus friendliness modified ex- ercise. This unplanned good- fellowship began to be alluded to by John Diefenbaker as "main-streeting." And still to- day, main-streeting is a gen- uine pleasure to the Prime Minister, a rarer joy to Prince Albertans, but a local spectacle more important to visitors than Gordon Lund's famous wildlife exhibit, or the new million-dol- lar bridge leading to the north- ern touristic and mineral riches. So when, during the Prime Minister's recent visit to his home, his aide John Fisher in- formed the expectant itinerant press corps that the PM would "take a walk" at.3 p.m., "main- streeting" was metamorphosed from a private pleasure to a national spectacle. Main Street proved just not large enough to carry the ex- tra burden of television and newsreel cameramen cruising in station wagons and convert- ibles, still-photographers fanned out as an advance guard, the Official walking escort of sen- ator and aide, the flutter of scribes at his heels, a notabil- ity's crowd of autograph - hunt- ers sucked into the parade, and above all the curious attracted not by the familiar main- Streeter but by the unwonted crowd escorting him. But main - streeting remains what it always was to the Prairie lawyer, ever since those pre - Parliamentary days when he would walk perhaps from the court-house on the Hill down to Tony Kwan's 'Confectionery" fer his light lunch of ham sand- wich and favorite vanila ice cream, So it was when John Diefen- baker slipped out unheralded and unnoticed one afternoon on that same visit. He dropped casually into the Modern Mar- ket on 10th Street West, not be- cause he needed to buy grocer- ies» but because he often visits owner Frank Karasiuk, who was a teacher in.Wakaw when the newly graduated lawyer John Diefenbaker first hung his shin- gle there after World War I. part of it. Smoking should be reduced or + eliminated; tea, coffee or other stimulants should be reduced, and if just a cup or so causes a rise in pressure, then one should consider using only caf- fein-free drinks. Excessive salt avoided. Losing 10 or 15 pounds often is sufficient to bring marked improvement. Restful sleep is essential, and mid-day naps or rest periods can be far more important than you realize--until you try them. Common sense analysis of your own attitude toward life and your work is a priceless investment on your part. Learn to "look over your own shoulder'. from time to time, and see whether you are too tense, spending too much nerv- ous effort on things that don't deserve it, forgetting to take time to relax. If so--change your habits. You can. There are, to be sure, other possible factors at times. Faulty kidney action may be involved, but somewhat more elaborate studies can identify that. Occa- should be ; sionally some such thing as a "O mama mia," was the happy cry with which he was greeted there by George Nyki- foruk, who long ago used to in- terpret between lawyer Diefen- baker and his immigrant clients speaking only Russian or Ukrainian or Polish. Everyone in store or on street knew the visitor. Another shop- per, wearing the two-gallon hat of the Saskatchewan farmer, said "I used to call you John." "And so you still do, I hope," replied John as he shook hands with the soft-spoken old - timer Mr. Wilson. Almost next door, in the Pa. hardware, owner Steve Luciak gave the main-streeter his view of prairie politics. '"'Right now, if you tcll any farmer anything against the Diefenbaker Govern- ment, he will scratch your eyes out." And in the Nu - Trend Furni- ture store of Bev Hadley, a big farmer seemed to confirm this, Saying: "I got my cheque for my wheat and I certainly appreci- ate that; the Liberals said it couldn't be done.' : adrenalin tumor which produces excess may be_ involved. That, too, can be determined, and it is one of the factors that can bring on fluctuating pres- sure. It isn't common. I've outlined both the common and uncommor elements. But even the uncommon causes do not diminish the importance of the simple, ordinary things a patient can do. I'm not convinced that alco- hol causes high blood pressure in itself, and many doctors per- mit patients to have modest amounts of it. If over-use con- tributes to tensions, as may oc- cur, then the tensions become a factor: perhaps an important one. And that's that. My major point: The patient can do a great deal, if he will view the facts thoughtfully, to control his own blood pressure. Dear Dr. Molner: The joints in my knees make a cracking noise. Exercises don't seem to help.--D.G. The main reasons: Some de- crease in the small amount of fluid normally present in the joint; thinning of the cartilage; or changes in the ends of the bones, usually due to arthritic changes. No, exercising won't affect any of these factors. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO The milk price in Oshawa was reduced to '12 cents a quart or 18 pint tickets for one dollar. Mr. and Mrs. George M. Mc- Laughlin returned from a visit to Europe and Palestine where Mr. McLaughlin established a General Motors agency in Jeru- salem. Fitty permits for new homes were issued by the town engi- neer in April when building per- mits totalled over $82,000. Ratepayers of Cedardale re- jected a proposed agreement by the Oshawa Town Council for annexation, at a_ public meeting. R. S. McLaughlin and George W. McLaughlin were donors of a new McLaughlin memorial wing to the Oshawa General Hospital, in memory of their father, Robert McLaughlin. 'The announcement was made by Gordon D. Conant at'a civic banquet in their honor. A - Mrs. A. J. Salter was re- elected president of the WCTU at a meeting of the organiza- tion. Customs receipts for the Port of Oshawa for April were over $391,361, which showed an in- crease of $150,000 over the same month of 1921. The Oshawa Horticultural So- ciety co-operated with the vari- ous Home anc School Clubs in the distribution of vegetable seeds among the senior pupils for planting. Frank Carswell, president of the Horticultural Society, offered prizes for the best cared for gardens through- out the five schools. The 52nd anniversary of Osh- awa Baptist Church was ob- served with the pastor, Rev. J. L, Harton, preaching special services. St. Paul's Anglican Church, one mile west of Columbus, was destroyed by fire. It was built in 1842. Officers elected by the Mary Street Home and School Club included: Mrs. F. E. Hare, president; Mrs. G. Wesson, vice-president, Miss L. Doubt, treasurer and Mrs. T. Hender- son, secretary. Pierre Dupont, president, and Arthur P. Sloan, Jr., vice-pres- ident of the General Motors Corporation, paid a visit to the Oshawa plant of General Mo- tors of Canada. South Oshawa Methodist Church held its congregational meeting with Rev. J. S. McMul- len, pastor of the church, mak- ing a brief address. The Sunday School reported a membership of 502. UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Closer Personal Contact One Aim Of Trip To USS. By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's trip to the United States to talk over world probl with President Ken- nedy meant much more to him than merely an opportunity to discuss serious matters with the President. There were other objectives in the back of his mind, some of them closely linked with the present uncer- tain political atmosphere in the United Kingdom. Prime Minister Macmillan enjoyed a much closer personal relationship with former Presi- dent Eisenhower than he has ever been able to attain with President Kennedy. But one of his aims on the trip. he has just ended undoubtedly was to try to establish with the Presi- dent the same. close ties and personal contacts that he had with Eisenhower. Whether he met with any success in that direction only events will re- veal, but the Prime Minister has at least found out that Kennedy is a young man with & will of his own, and is not as receptive to the Macmillan ap- proaches as was his predeces.- sor. EFFECT ON ELECTORATE Another objective of the Macmillan trip to Washington was his determination to come back into the limelight as one of the leading world statesmen of today. Since Kennedy be- came President, he has been side-tracked much more than he likes. Prior to the Kennedy regime, he was the top man in the western group when it came to travelling all over the world meeting men like Khrush- chev and other world leaders. He has been anxious to get back into that position or at least to have Britain's position as a major partner in the western alliance given more recognition by the United States. And possibly most important of all, Mr. Macmillan has look- ed on this trip as a means of providing some encouragement for government supporters whose morale has been at a low ebb since its recent series of setbacks in byelections. To him, and to the government, this is vital, and success in the field of world affairs might well restore much of his party's lost confidence. SIGHS OF RELIEF President Achmed Sukarno of Indonesia has cancelled his planned visit to Britain as a guest of the Queen, and there have been great sighs of relief at his decision not to come to Buckingham Palace at the pres- ent time. While the official ex- planation is that Sukarno is too preoccupied with the New Gui- nea situation to leave his own country at present, it is no se- cret that he is not at all pleased with Britain's close friendship with Holland, and this country's failure to press the Dutch into meeting him for round table talks. There are other reasons for Whitehall's relief at the fact that Sukarno is not coming to London. An official foreign of- fice statement expressed the government's regret that Presi- dent Sukarno has called off his visit. This must have been a purely diplomatic, but very much tongue-in-the-cheek state- ment, because there can be no dodging the fact that a visit from Sukarno at the present time would not have gone down well with the British public. For some time, objections to his visit have been appearing in the press, because of his dic- tatorial attitude over New Guinea. Some commentators have bluntly declared that it would be an insult to Britain's friends in Holland to have Su- QUEEN'S PARK Political Figures Changing Methods By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Politics don't change? Just the people in them? Watching some of the leading lights in the current federal campaigns one might suspect this Every politician, it seems, feels he must be a spell-binder. And there is oratory straight from the days of John A. But the conclusion isn't true, nevertheless. Politics do change, and are changing. It's just that some of the key figures are still part of the past..and that much of the machinery still hasn't caught up to the times. NEW MEN: The new day is bringing new approaches and new machinery to politics. You don't see it too markedly in the federal vote, perhaps, but you can see it here. The times of today are com- plex, and require serious men and serious study even to com- prehend them. The old ward-level type of politician is on his way out. Called for, and rising, is a new type of man in public life. He is perhaps best exempli- fied by Premier Robarts. Only a decade or so ago Mr. Robarts' calm, studied, unemo- tional approach wouldn't have been acceptable in a leader. He never would have won a con- vention, wouldn't even have come close. ' On the other hand there is Liberal leader Wintermeyer. He is a man whose biggest opponent is his principles. To play the game of politics, where people from time to time get hurt, he has to fight with him- self. A generation ago this might have been laughed at. But in this day it was un- doubtedly one of the strong rea- sons why he won his convention. LIVING ROOM The change in methods is quite subtle. But it also is there. Television is responsible more than any one other factor. But oddly enough this hasn't meant more drama in politics. Rather it has meant the re- verse, All the trend today, as you TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 5, 1962 A cease-fire' went into ef- fect for the Ist Canadian Army in Holland and North- west Gemrany at 8 a.m. 17 yars ago today--in 1945-- in the final hours of the Second World War fight against Nazi Germany.

The big idea is to get the leader to shake as many hands as possible. Behind this is the theory of the "'living-room" sell, the ap- proach first cultivated by pro- motion people when television started "going into the living room", No. Politics and politicians are changing. karno as a guest of the Queen at Buckingham Palace. That view is quite widely held. And while, of course, Buckingham Palace is silent on the ques- tion, it is generally felt that Sukarno's decision not to come must have been quite a relief even to the Queen. WANTS FIRM PLEDGE Peter Walker, Conservative MP, is one of the strongest op- ponents to Britain joining the European Common Market, He is very much concerned over the Commonwealth Prime Min. isters' Conference to be held in September, and on May 8 he Proposes to question Prime Minister Macmillan about it. He wants a firm Pledge that there will be no final decision on Britain's part to join the Common Market before that Conference is held. He does not want to have the Common- wealth Prime Ministers sented with a "fait accompli", on a take it or leave it basis, He asks for assurance that the Commonwealth will "have a ef- fective opportunity of influenc- ing the ultimate decision whe- ther or not we join the Euro- pean Economie Community, and not merely to discuss a decision already taken by the United Kingdom government."" _In making this request for a firm pledge along the lines in- dicated, Mr. Walker is follow. ing the same line as the Com. monwealth countries, including Canada, since all of them are expecting that there will be something for the Conference fo discuss other than a final de- cision made before it is held, SUPPORT FOR JOINING Meanwhile, public opinion in the United Kingdom is growing in favor of Britain Joining the Common Market. As Edward Heath prepares for the most vital part of the negotiations a public opinion poll indicates that two out of three who have made up their minds on the subject say that Britain should join. The poll showed 47.1 per cent in favor of joining; 25 per cent against and 27.9 per cent gave a "don't know" answer. These figures show that since a previous poll' was taken early in March, there has been a drop of 3.7 per cent in those op. posed, but they have merely Switched to the "don't know" column. One intriguing point in this particular poll was that in alt three political Parties, there was a majority in favor of Joining the Commgn Market, Even the Labor Party suppor. ters voted 39.2 per cent in fav- or, 26.9 per cent against and 33.9 per cent undecided. Con- Servatives showed 56.4 per cent in favor and the Liberalg 47.4 per cent in favor. GALLUP POLL Probe Inner Religious Belief And Experience By THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION PRINCETON, N.J. Since William James wrote his classic, "The Varieties' of Re- ligious Experiences', 60 years ago, few attempts have been made to study this aspect of religious life. in America, and none on a broad national scale. To gain insight into the "inner religious life' of Americans, to go deeper than statements of belief or church attendance, the Gallup Poll put the following question to a nationwide cross- section of adults, so selected as to form a representative sample of the entire civilian population: "Would you say that you have ever had a "religious or mystic experience"--that is, a moment of sudden religious insight or awakening?"' One person in five (20 per cent) answered "yes" to this question, Those who say they have ex- perienced a '"'moment of sudden religious insight or awakening" were then asked the following questions: "How would you describe the way you felt? -- What did the experience convey to you? -- Did the experience affect your life in any way?" The types of religious- experi- ences recorded by the 165 Gal- lup Poll reporters working on this survey cover a wide range, but, in general, they take the form of: (1) the "mystic experience" -- a hard - to - describe, "other worldly" feeling of union with a Divine Being, usually unrelated to any specific faith or doctrine; (2) basically this same exper- ience, but carrying with it the conviction of the forgiveness of sins and salvation; (3) answers to prayers--often of a "miraculous" nature; (4) a turning to God -- or a reassurance of His power and love -- in moments of crisis; and (5) visions, dreams, or voices. Experiences which are close- ly akin to what has been de- scribed as the "'mystic experi- ence" are those most often cited in the current study. For ex- ample-- "It was a feeling of relief from a terrifically heavy load-- a relief from tension. The ex- perience told me that God is Love, that God answers pray- ers, and that I had been for- given of past sins. This ex ri- ence changed me from a eat with a very vicious Personality to a calm understanding per- son. Another: "At the time I felt the come plete nearness of God. The feel- ing erased any doubt in my mind that there was a God. I realized how little I was in come parison to the greatness of G and that He loves me and will take care of me," In the words of a 28-year-old architect: "The experience was some- what of an awakening to true values. It was a calming ex- perience. It clarified the mean- ing of life and of my life. It gave me a new sense of values and it changed old values. It gave me a new outlook, a new direction in life." Said a 24-year-old housewife: "It's a clean feeling, with something getting hold of you and sweeping you up." A much smaller proportion of people describe experiences which are cast.in terms of the forgiveness of sins and salva- tion -- of "being saved" and "born again". For instance: "When I was 14 years old, I was 'born again'. Christ entered my life and has been in my heart ever since. It was a won- derful experience and I thank God for it every day." Another said: "The experience changed my life. I can't explain, but 1 felt like I would like for everyone to feel the way I did. I felt that I once was lost and now I was saved. I had a different outlook on life -- the things I once did I didn't have the de- sire to do now." A woman reported: "I saw my daughter actually snatched from the grave. She had gland fever and the doctors had given her up -- said she had 24 hours to live. I prayed, and through the power of pray- er, she lived. Nothing else can explain it.' Whether one regards these ex- periences as inthe nature of self-delusion, or "wishful think- ing" -- or whether one regards them as instances of Divine in- tervention in human life -- the important fact remains that, for the persons concerned, such ex- periences are very real and meaningful.
