The Oshawwn Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1962--PAGE 6-- No Members Until Vote Results Are Published We notice that some candidates in the federal election campaign are identifying themselves as members of Parliament. They have no right to do 's0, because there is no such animal as a member of Parliament from the moment that the Governor General signs the document dissolving Parlia- ment until the moment that the newly-elected members are sworn into office. Parliament was dissolved on April 19, and the title of MP vanished on that date. This does not mean, however, that the country lacks a government. The Conservative government continues to function, to make and announce deci- sions. This is provided for by the establishment of a committee of the Privy Council, the committee being composed of the members of the cabinet. As the prime, or first, minister, Mr. Diefenbaker heads the government, and will continue to do so until the results of the June 18 election are known. Then, if the Con- servatives have won a majority of the seats in the House, he will, with a few formalities of procedure, carry on as prime minister; if another party has won a greater number of seats, he will tender his government's resignation to the Governor General, who will call on the leader of the winning party to form a new govern- ment. Thus a member of the Parliament which came to an end on April 19 can identify himself only as a former MP or as a member of "the last Par- liament." High Cost Of Litter The Ontario Department of High- ways has spent well over $100,000 to clear litter and repair the damage of highway vandalism along the 600 miles of highways in the Oshawa- Barrie-Oakville triangle. Add to that the amounts spent on street-cleaning by the municipalities in that area ($1.6 million by the city of Toronto alone in 1961), and the cost to tax- payers represents no mean sum. It is the taxpayers, of course, who do the littering, although it is likely that most of the litter is dumped by a minority, and the majority must pay for the filthy habits of the compara- tive few. The Ontario Forestry Association has launched a campaign for "good outdoor manners" -- and it is good manners to keep a place clean. We wish the Association well in its efforts to persuade people not to toss their trash, bottles, cans and other garbage along the country roads and super- highways. We fear, however, that much of the Association's preaching will be directed to the converted. We should like to see more a big stick to back up the soft words. It is agreed that more police patrols are needed on the highways. Stepped- up patrols could watch for litter-bugs as well as traffic offenders. And one of the penalties, in addition to the prescribed fine, could well be the sen- tencing of an offender to a highway clean-up job; he could be assigned, for example, to picking up every bottle, empty cigarette pack and candy bar wrapper along a mile or so of high- way. This punishment has been tried in some parts of the United States and has proved to be a fairly \ effective deterrent. Fall-Out Shelter Loans In August, 1960, the federal govern- ment announced that the maximum National Housing Act loan for a new house could be increased by $500 if a fall-out shelter were incorporated in the plans. Up to January 13 of this year, only 62 such applications had been approved. Quebec led with 30 applications, followed by Ontario with 18, Alberta with 11, British Columbia three, Manitoba two, New- foundland, New Brunswick and Sas- katchewan with one each, and Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island had none. Under the Home Improvement Loans Act, a home owner may borrow money to construct a shelter in an existing house. Up to January 31, again, 94 such shelter loans had been approved, divided among the pro- vinces this way: Ontario 27, Quebec 17, Alberta 18, British Columbia 16, Saskatchewan 10, New Brunswick four, Manitoba two. These figures do not show the Making Statistics Lie Statistics can lie. They can also make possible remarkably accurate predictions. They show, for example, that between 350 and 360 people will probably drown in Ontario this year The Oshawa Gimes T. L. WILSON, Put'-her C.

But the figures do reveal that the shelter program has been a flop in Canada. And parliamentarians have been just as apathetic -- or realistic -- about it as other Canadians. Prime Minister Diefenbaker had a shelter built at his official residence in Ot- tawa, but not all his cabinet colle- agues followed his example, and a survey of back-bench MPs showed that few had built shelters and only a handful had any serious plans to construct them. We do not think there will be any surge of interest in shelters, or in the emergency measures program in gen- eral, as long as a nuclear war appears to be a possibility rather than a probability. It is difficult, to get people excited about possibilities when they have certainties like mortgage pay- ments to worry about. -- more if there is a long spell of hot weather, and a few less if the summer is cool and wet. Twenty per cent of the drownings will occur in July. Over 100 automobiles will return from provincial vacationlands minus one child passenger. Eighty swim- mers will find themselves too far from shore. Seventy boaters will drown as a result of falling overboard or because their craft will ship water faster than they can bail. Ten waders will fall or step into deep water. These predictions have a high de- gree of probability because of the Statistics of previous years. This is what happens every year in Ontario, because too many people refuse to follow the common sense rules for water safety and too few prepare themselves for accidents. Next week is St. John Ambulance Save-a-Life Week in Ontario, and St. John instructors across the province will be giving free, two-hour courses in artificial respiration.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Things are cer- tainly not what they used to be in the British Army. Old sol- diers are sometimes aghast at the many privileges and amen- ities which are part of the army life of today, and contrast them with the severe discipline which prevailed in pre-war and in war- time armies. Special walking- out uniforms, luxurious quarters with private rooms, meals which have menus providing a wide choice of dishes are all features which have been introduced to change completely the life of the soldiers of today. Now another radical change is being brought into effect at one army depot, and once started, it is likely to spread to other depots in the British Isles, and possibly to overseas stations. The latest innovation is a five- day week for privates at this depot, MUST HAVE NOTICE Lieut.-Colonel Ben Palmer, of- ficer commanding the East Anglican brigade, has reached the conclusion that if a five-day week is good enough for work- ers in industry, there is no-rea- son why it should not be adopted Yale Students Undress for all the soldiers under his command. So he has started the innovation of the five-day week. In future, if any private sol- dier is required to stay on week- end duty he will be entitled to have three days' notice of that fact from his superior officer. Unofficially, Col. Palmer has told his officers: "If any soldier is put on week- end duty without proper notice --I shall want to know all about Hid CAN KEEP DATES The camp at which Col. Palmer is in command is Blen- heim Camp, at Bury St. Ed- munds, And from now on the men at that camp will be able to make dates with their girl friends, and be sure that they can keep their appointments. And that is really something new in the life of a soldier. The brigade includes the for- mer county regiments of Lin- colnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge and the 1st Essex Regiment. ° One of the staff officers of the brigade is in complete agree- ment with the colonel's decision, and sees in it a possible stim- ulus to recruiting. "The five-day week is com- mon place in industry, »0 why For Research Project NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP)-- It was for science and for a future book, so two pre-medical students at Yale took off their clothes for the summer months. And the two students claim that the information they gathered at five nudist camps in southern California is the first obtained by use of scientif- ically respectable methods. The study last summer was one of eight undergraduate re- search projects supported by grants of $600 each from Yale, with funds from the National Science Foundation. Applying recognized anthropo .Jogical techniques--after doffing their clothing--the two students sou, to find out why people join nidist camps, why they stay in, and the backgrounds of people who become nudists. Fred Ilfeld Jr., one of the students, said most practition- ers of nudism won't reveal their identities to each other. They prefer to use only first names, or even pseudonyms. NO DRINKING Another interesting finding, Ilfeld said, is that nudists have an almost puritanical fear of liquor and sex in the camps. "One of the unwritten rules of nudism," he said, "is that no one ever touches anyone else, except to shake hands. And 'liquor. in any form is camps." But Ilfeld said the research indicates "'there is some sexual basis for nudism. The 'look-but- don't-touch' idea shows there is something more to it than just comfort 5 Nudism seems to be a family . affair, the student research showed, and the bachelor finds it difficult to be admitted to such camps or clubs. "And once admitted," Ilfeld said, "any man who acts in a sexual manner is immediately subject to expulsion." Ilfeld admits that the re- search did not fully answer the basic question of why nudists become nudists, but says they Mare not cultists or crackpots."' The study, he said, revealed that the nudists themselves offer inadequate reasons--like "comfort" or "relaxation"--to explain their practices. The research also showed what the students called an astonishing growth in the nudist movement among Americans. In the last 10 years, Ilfeld said, nudists have increased about 500 per cent--from about 2,000 to 10,000. There are about 100 clubs in the United States, with the heaviest co..centration in California, Washington afia Or- egon. A basic insecurity may be the drive behind the nudist to con- vert others to the practice, Ilfeld said. People who are unsure of themselves, he said, try to reduce this insecurity by converting others to their views. The nudist, Ilfeld said, usually conceals his practice from people who know him in the outside world. = "Your next - door neighbor might very well be a nudist," he said. TODAY IN HISTORY TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Rudolf Hess, at one time considered heir apparent to Adolf Hitler, parachuted from an airplane near Glas- gow 21 years ago today-- in 1941--after quietly taking off from Germany. He was held in Britain until the end of the Second World War and then sentenced to life imprisonment as a war criminal, 1844 -- The seat of the Canadian government was moved from Kingston to Montreal. « 1497 -- Amerigo Vespucci sailed on his first voyage of exploration to the New World, not in the army?" he said. 'We feel that it is high time that the soldier was just as free as the civilian from 4.30 p.m. on Fri- day until Monday morning. It will be a good recruiting at- traction." The plan has the blessing of John Profumo, minister of war. Recently he visited Blenheim Camp, and had a drink in the sergeants' mess and lunch with the officers. And he was delight- ed with the high state of the morale of the troops, at least partly attributable to the insti- tution of the five-day week. BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Ald. S. J. Babe was named chairman of a_ special city council committee to adminis- ter the new relief food depot. Oshawa Kiwanians held a working bee to improve the grounds of their summer camp at Kedron. A colorful Ukrainian drama and music festival closed the season of the Ukrainian St. George's Dramatic Society. The congregation of Christ Church honored G. A. Dew- berry, church warden, who was leaving for England, with a reception. Forty candidates were firmed at St. George's can Church by Rev. John Lyons. con- Angli- Bishop A naval cutter" presented to the Oshawa Sea Cadets by R. S. - McLaughlin was launched. Work was started on a news stand, corner of Bond and Simcoe streets. On completion, the stand was to be operated by David Moirison. Mrs. Peter Kyle, widely known for her church work and a resident of Oshawa for 32 years, died at her home. The Women's Welfare League undertook to furnish a recrea tion room at. the single men's hostel, corner of Burk and King Streets. Letters of incorporation were issued to the Oshawa Yacht Club. The provincial directors who were named in the char- ter of the club were, Eldon Stacey, Ralph B. Schofield, Edward Burns, Gordon D. Conant and W. M. Gilbert. The club was organized in a ; PLAIN or FILTER TIP CIGARETTES OTTAWA REPORT Military Hearing Attracts Curious By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Ottawans have had a rare spectacle to inter- est them in the past week. A gaunt red-brick ex-hospital has been the scene of drama trimmed with the glamor of swords and smuggling, and with the panache of judges and jin- gling military hardware. This was the sequel to Prime Minister Diefenbaker's an- nouncement in Parliament two months ago, that four men in our army and our diplomatic service had been 'engaged in the smuggling of either gold or opium in Indochina." Later, six other soldiers were implicated. The Canadian Criminal Code can only be applied where Ca- nadian sovereignty rules, namely on Canadian territory. Elsewhere, Canadians may be subject to the local law. But the Indochinese authorities took no action against these alleged Ca- nadian smugglers. And as the Canadian legal apparatus could not touch the diplomats, even on their written confession they went unpunished at law. FAR-REACHING ARMY LAW But any member of our armed forces is subject to our military code of law wherever he may be on duty. Three of the soldiers were dealt with by Ca- nadian military authorities in Inodchina; their guilt being es- tablished, each was fined $100 and severely reprimanded. This seems a light sentence in view of the admission by another sol- diers that he was paid $1,870 for smuggling two packages of opium. The other members of the army -- one major, three non- coms and one private--were al- ready back in Canada, so were booked for trial by courtmar- tial in Ottawa. Like any other Canadian court of law, this military trib- unal is: open to the public, un- less the proceedings are closed for reasons of national security. The cases of the five alleged smugglers aroused unusual in- terest here, and attracted an audience much larger than that normally drawn by Canada's Supreme Court. Prisoners in newly - pressed khaki uniform were marched smartly before the bench of judges, consisting of five senior officers resplendent in their rarely-seen Number One dress. YOUR HEALTH Painful Stiffness Operation Sequel By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Almost three years ago I had a breast removed. I have been X-rayed several times and the doctor Says everything is clear. My arm is still swollen, and around the shoulder, and the breast bones are so stiff that I suffer at times. I have taken so many pain pills that my stomach is ruined. What can be done to relieve this tightness and hurting?--MRS. H. S. This sort of condition can, indeed, occur after extensive breast surgery. The lymphatic glands in the armpit are dis- turbed. Scar tsisue forms and causes the arm to swell. In addition, this same condi- tion tends to act as a sort of natural "splint' on the shoulder, making it painful and 1 stiff. Physiotherapy can help ap- preciably. I mean a combina- tion of things, not a single pro- cedure. Massage; assisted motion of the joint; heat; a long sleeve on the arm; appropriate exer- cise--all of these or some of them can help. The process, I admit, is tedi- ous, but it is frequently suc- cessful. A rehabilitation institute or some similar facility in your community will provide this kind of therapy. Dear Dr. Molner: My three- year - old granddaughter re- cently had shingles. I have never heard of it occurring in a child before. Is there any- thing we can do to correct the cause? She responded well to treatment. -- MRS, K. C. Shingles can occasionally oc- cur in children. The cause is the same as in adults. It is a virus similar to chickenpox. The vesicles or "spots" follow the course of a nerve instead of being scattered indiscrimi- nately as in chickenpox. Fortunately, shingles is much milder 'and less painful in chil- dren. One attack usually pro- vides immunity. Dear Dr. Molner: We are two girls, both going to turn 16 shortly. We haven't started to menstruate. All our friends had started by 14. Is this normal for us not to have started? We're afraid to go to the doc- tor and embarrassed to discuss it with out mothers and friends. --J, and K. The average is around 13 or 14, of course, but there's a dif- ference between average and normal, Various factors should be considered: nationality, nutri- ton, emotions, climate, glandu- lar factors. In tropical climates the age is earlier than in tem- perate and colder ones. The age range extends from about 10 to ae There's no reason why you can't mention this to your moth- ers, Yes, I know, you "don't know how to say it." More than likely your mothers are quite aware of it. but they 'don't know how to talk about it ei- ther. So just break the ice: Say, '"'Mother, I haven't begun to menstruate yet, should I see the doctor?" Your doctor, in turn, may be able to detect'a glandular fac- tor (if any), such as your thy- roid, anemia, or some nutri- tional disturbance. If you are generally healthy, he'll doubt- less say, "Let's wait a little longer," but you'll have put yourselves at ease as to how you are physically. Dear Dr. Molner: One eyelid hangs much lower than the other. What can I do to have it corrected?--C. R. Drooping of one eyelid is fre- quently traced to a disturbance of the nerve controlling it. In- fection and various toxic fac- tors are often the causes . If treatment for such troubles does not succeed, there are op- erations for raising the lid, An eye specialist can decide the best course. WALKER'S ed a divorce on This blue uniform has _high- collared jacket, red - striped trousers, scarlet sash, gold- braid epauleties, and is worn with sword and medals. The prosecutors and defence coun- sel--all army officers with legal training -- were dressed the same way. Prisoners' escorts, witnesses and court reporters wore khaki and medals. SPIT AND POLISH The ghoulish green - walled hall was spruced up as impres- sivel as attainable by a red ensign pinned to the wall, and red army blankets spread over mess - tables. It's quiet was smashed by the clanking of medals, as the military moved about the courtroom -- except when they adopted the pseudo- trysting posture with the left hand on the heart to silence the jangles. Swords, traditionally pointed towards the accused if found guilty, twonchalantly lit- tered the floor, among polished boots and civilian briefcases. What some spectators were surprised to notice, in addition to this military panoply, was a brusqueness in procedure and roughness in justice, perhaps stemming from the drumhead court-martial and summary ex- ecution of the battlefield. Ottawans, as I said, have had a rare spectacle to interest them. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A London woman was award- ground that. her husband talkéd too much about his "extracurricu- lar'"' romances. They comprise a highly unusual couple: she has no curiosity, and he has no discretion. "The. secret of paralyzing nerve gases being developed by the military is anti-choline- sterases."" -- Science note. It's a secret the average person won't be likely to relate. During an idle moment we wondered if nudists-ever play dress poker. Freedom has many enemies. For example, the woman col- umnist who severely criticizes currently-styled skirts as being much too short is against free- dom of the knees, Another precaution a man should take when he chasing a blonde is to guard against be- ing waylaid by a brunette. As a rule with few exceptions, the publicity hound has a long tale. The person who runs into debt has to walk out of it, so natural- ly the- return trip takes far more time. An experimenter says mice that are taught to play live longer. This information is passed along to those who may be interested in increasing the longevity of mice. CHECK iy ag RATES with Private LE .
