She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1962--PAGE 6-- 'Plain Speaking Could - Attract Much Support Thus far in the federal election campaign we have heard a great many promises that involve the "spending of money but none that would mean a saving. Yet sober -~examination of Canada's economic condition surely indicates that we are already trying to squeeze too much juice out of too little fruit. It would be refreshing, though surprising, if a leading party spokes- man declared: "As a nation, Cana- dians have been living beyond their means, buying too much on credit. If we budget our resources now, we can straighten out our finances, but it will mean going without some of the things we want for a while, until we are in a better position to stretch our credit, So we can't promise you anything except efficient, cost-cut- } ting government." That, of course, is not in the tra- dition of Canadian election campaign- ing. The custom 'here is for candi- dates to promise the moon, in the hope that they can convince a gul- lible electorate that they can at least deliver a few beams. Still, the candidate who gave the voters plain facts and harsh truths might be surprised by. the response. We believe that politicians, like TV producers and pitchmen, are too quick to downgrade the intelligence of the public. When people are con- vinced that they need treatment, the medicine does not have to be flavored to hide its bitterness. The trick may be to convince them. The devaluation of the dollar has been warmly defended and sharply attacked. The fact of it is, the dollar was devaluating anyway, on the judgment of the international market that Canada had to tighten its econ- omic belt before there could be re- newed confidence in its currency. Patrolling The Meters There was some discussion in Osh- awa city council two or three years ago about the possible use of pen- sioners or disabled veterans to check parking meters and issue tags inthe downtown area. Nothing ever came of it, but the idea is still worth con- sideration. It would relieve police of tedious routine duty, and free them for concentration on more important aspects of crime prevention and de- tection. In many cities, women are now being used to patrol metered parking areas. The following comment was made recently by the Baltimore Sun: "Nobody was absolutely certain that the introduction of meter maids in Baltimore would provide tighter enforcement, increase revenues and free able bodied policemen for more demanding jobs. But the uniformed girls had done.all these things in other cities and it seemed likely they could do the same here (in Balti- more). They have. "A mere 10 of them, patrolling only half the meters in the city, have boosted summonses for parking viola- tions phenomenally. Before the ladies arrived on the scene last May, the monthly average for parking tickets was 6,500. Now it is 13,000. Meter collections are also up. And some of the men on the force form- erly assigned to checking parking violations are now used for other duties." 2 Always A Communist not change his political religion, and Milovan Djilas, a former vice- president of Yugoslavia, has been jailed by Belgrade court for writing a book called "Conversations with Stalin." He was charged with violat- mag official secrets, and the trial was held in secret. The Yugoslav dictator Tito is a Com- munist and always has been a Com- munist; a fact that too many North Americans are apt to forget in their admiration of his long and successful refusal to be absorbed into the Rus- sian empire. He broke with Stalin be- cause he refused to be another puppet, dancing at the end of strings manipulated in Moscow. But he did Pigeons For People in cities all over North America and Europe must have been sorely puzzled when the Brazilians recently placed an order for a thou- sand pigeons for Brasilia, their new capital. The Brazilians have been expend- ing an enormous amount of time and money on their capital, which they have been building, literally, from the ground up. The world's great architects and planners have contri- buted their talents to it. Gleaming colorful buildings look out on broad streets, spacious squares and flower- filled parks. Now the Brazilians want to add, of all things, pigeons. Why? "To make : She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Put cher C.

Djilas was in trouble before, when he criticized the Yugoslav Communist bureaucracy in a book, "The New Class." He was jailed then, too, but released after serving only part of his term. The bureaucrats have not fogiven him, however, and with Tito once again playing footsie with Khrushchev, they saw an opportunity to put him back in prison. That is the way of Communist totalitarianism. A Capital the new city a nicer place to live in," say the Brazilians. Well, some people don't mind having their buildings, public statues, vehicles and clothes splattered by pigeons. And some people even enjoy sitting in public places and feeding these vermin-ridden, disease-carrying moochers. But their numbers rarely include the people who have to bear the cost of the splattering. If the Brazilians want pigeons, of course, it's their business. But some- one should suggest to them that the only time pigeons make a capital a "better place to live in" is when meat is rationed.

BAND-AID . | REPORT FROM U.K. Atom Submarines Wanted By Navy By M. .McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON --The Royal Navy is-at loggerheads with the gov- ernment over the question of what kind of submarines should be built for the future use of QUEEN'S PARK the Navy. The viewpoint of the navy, firmly backed up by ac- tion, is that all future sub- marines built in this country should be nuclear-powered ves sels. In order to give emphasis to this demand, the naval au- thorities have suspended con- Women's Bureau Asked By Council By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The provincial council of women was in early this year on its annual safari to cabinet. And it may have been largely a wasted effort for the dear ladies. The council had points of complaint One was that there should be colored margarine. The second. that movie cen- sorship was not stiff enough. On the first there is still too powerful a lobby against mar- garine for action--until after an election, at least. On the second there has been a gradual relaxation in censor- ship And it probably will stay that Way. It is felt this is the way most of the people want it. WOMEN BOSSES On a third matter there may be more luck. This is a proposal that a women's bureau should be set up in the department of labor. With the large number women at work today seems to make sense. And the government may see it this way--though there never has been any strong disposition here to put women in executive or official posts. two main of this There was one sad experience some years ago. George Drew appointed a woman as a top boss. She had the place in a tur moil until they finally shunted her off to a siding. And since then, the department of agriculture, there have been almost exclu- sively trousers legs under our executive tables.

Bracey, Fred Ing and Wesley Heard compris- ed the executive. struction of a conventional sub- marine which had already been sanctioned by the treasury. The submarine vetoed by the navy should have been laid down at Chatham on empty stocks vacated by the HMS Ocelot, which was launched from the dockyard there a few days ago. Instead of a new convention- al submarine taking, shape on the stocks, this slipway will re main empty for the first time in 50 years. This empty slip- way will be a symbol of the determination of the Admiralty to follow the example of the United States and Russia in changing over entirely to nu- clear-powered submarines. DELIBERATE CHALLENGE This, arbitrary action by the Admiralty Board is a deliber- ate challenge to what it con- siders the government's go slow policy on the much' more costly nuclear submarines. This question of cost is, how. ever, an important factor. The submarine which it was intend- ed to build on the Chatham slipway would have been the last of 12 Oberon class diesel- electric vessels, built at a cost of $10,500,000 each. The two nuclear - powered submarines which have so far been sanc- tioned by the treasury are cost- ing about $60 million each. Oberon submarines were be- ing laid down at the rate of one every six months. The last, the 11th of the series of 12 au- thorized, was started at Birken- head last December. It is now doubtful if the 12th will ever be built. UNDER REVIEW Commenting on the situation, an Admiralty official said: "The question of future sub marine building is under re- view. It is our intention to go all nuclear as soon as money and resources allow." It is admitted that the Royal Navy has lagged behind its rivals in building nuclear sub- marines simply because of their high cost. The government has _ persist ed with the conventional sub- marine program under cover of the excuse that the electric boats are less audible and therefore better hunter-killers. The performance of Ameri- -can nuclear submarines in the hunter - killer role has now apparently raised a_ consider- able question-mark over the fu- ture usefulness of the conven- tional British boats. Be that as it may, it is the hope of the Admiralty Board that the treasury will transfer funds earmarked for the 12th Oberon class submarine to a third nuclear boat, which could be laid down within. the next six months. OTTAWA REPORT Unpleasant Change 7 In Electioneering te! By PATRICK NICHOLSON "The whistle-stop has been replaced by television in Cana- dian electioneering," says one of the public relations advisers to the Liberal Party "The aeroplane enables us to move the party leader rapidly, to meet a tightly-meshed cam- paign schedule,' adds another public relations practitioner, hired by the Conservative Party Those two brief comments in- fer the three aspects of the present election campaign which thinking Canadians must surely deplore. Leaving aside issues, poleies and_personali- ties, I question whether any election since Confederation has been worse for Canada, bearing in mind the novel methods of the backroom - boys by whom this nation-wide battle is being planned I refer to "The Hidden Per- suaders" and their commercial technique of salesmanship; to the publicists, hired from the advertising world, whose p ur- pose in life is to mould public YOUR HEALTH i 4 opinion in the interests of their commercial employer, even to persuade the public to buy goods they dont need by creat- ing a demand for them. REMOTE AIR TRAVEL So we come to the three un- desirable developments in elec- tioneering which are mentioned above. First, the chief campaigners are being transported unrecog- nized 12,000 feet above the heads of the voters, in a point- less marathon. Second, with every Canadian sitting for an average of three hours a day in front of the TV, politicians have been persuaded to approach us increasingly via that fickle new medium. An election being neither a west- ern nor a musical, the only apt paid spot for it in the TV sched- ule is among the advertise- ments. So we have the humbl- ing and inapt situation that prominent national statesmen speak to us in 90 seconds com- mercial spots, sandwiched per- More Information About Spider Vein By JOSEPH G. MILNER, MD I am going to backtrack a little on something I wrote not so long ago about spider veins, those small, blue, webby veins that sometimes develop, partic- ularly on legs and thighs. It is true that they are more likely to occur in people who have varicose veins, although spider veins are not varicose veins, and ordinarily don't cause physical distress. They are, however, times unsighty. Occasionally some- they disappear by themselves, although this isn't predictable. Maybe they will; maybe they won't. My advice has been to forget about spider veins--and in gen- eral I still abide by this opinion, because the person who has them is much more conscious of their presence than anyone else. Besides, your doctor can't do anything about them--with but certain exceptions. It is true that in many cases injections can be used to oblit- erate spider veins. I know of no other method--no pills, salves, exercises or anything else that can help. REQUIRES SKILL The treatment requires skill and experience. Only a small area can be done at a time. Much of the method's success depends on being able to inject fluid into the vein at a point at which the fluid will flow through a small patch of still smaller veins branching off from it. Even so, it is a painstaking process and will ~ require re- peated visits, depending of course on how much area is being cleared of the spider veins, And it isn't possible to guarantee that other spider veins won't appear. One surgon tells me that he gets quite a few requests from TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 23, 1962...

Murphy as Supervisor of Ontario Branches (Eastern Division) with headquarters in Toronto is announced by The Royal Bank of Canada. He succeeds W.°H. Sharpe who is retiring for reasons of health. G. B. Langley, former Manager of the bank's Ottawa Branch, Mr Ontario Branches succeeds Murphy as Assistant Supervisor of (Eastern Division), men, as well as from women, prior to the '"'bathing suit sea- son." Doubtless some readers will now start asking: "Where can I get this done and how much will it cost?" Your personal physician can refer you to a specialist. The cost will. depend on the area to be treated. Ask the surgeon for his estimate of the number of treatments that will be re- quired, Then multiply by what- ever his fee is for each office visit. In some instances, dozens of visits will be involved; in other cases, fewer. Do not ex- pect that one or two visits will clear up a Jot of "spiders." Dear Dr. Molner: Is there anything that will help epileptic seizures? All different doctors do is give different sedatives or tranquilizers --MRS., N. W. Oh, I disagree! The great ma- jority of epileptic cases are being helped markedly by the anti - convulsant drugs, which are not sedatives and are not tranquilizers. Many epileptics, since the development of these drugs, have gone for years with- out having a seizure. NOTE .TO .MRS. .C. .B.: There's no special significance as to which side of the face may be affected by tic douloreux; it can occur on either. There are few precautions to take against recurrence, but I'd avoid ab- rupt, sevére chilling of the face, and if any dental infection ex- ists, I'd certainly get it cleared up. The "bite" should be checked too. And, of course, keep up the general health tone by such simple but important measures as adequate rest, bal- anced diet, plenty of liquids, and reasonable general exer- cise. haps between a singing tom- mercial about stomach gas and an animated cartoon plugging toilet tissue. Finally we come to the real , national tragedy. The comments quoted at the head of this col- umn were mouthed not by the old - fashioned voluntary party worker,--sincere, dedicated and intellectually honest--but by the hired hucksters -- men whose bread and butter depends upon their success in selling ant- acids or name drugs, whether or not they believe in the use. fullness of the goods they are plugging or even in the sincer- ity of their plug Thus too, for a fee, they sell politicians to the voters. Must the siren-song of the dollar and the\ effectiveness of the huckster hereafter deter- mine who shall govern Canada? SELLECTIONEERING -- 1962 The political campaign of 1962 is near becoming a commercial- ized hard-sell It is very ques- tionable whether this is good for Canada and Canadians. . The techniques are the same as those employed in selling an automobile, women's fashions or cigarettes. The essential pro- cess in eithercampaign is the public opinion poll, to find out what the consumer prefers, Seat-belts or nuclear defence, filter cigarettes or health serv- ices, winkle-picker toes to shoes or higher Old Age pensions? Then other polls are held to find out what the public thinks is good or bad about political leaders, just as the hucksters seek our opinions about last year's model prouct. Skirts too tight, or Mr X lisps, consumes too much gas or too much liquor, inconvenient package or disinterest in ethnics? : Thus the 1962 party poliices and the 1962 party leaders are apt to be devised, made over into artificial images, and pro- jected across the nation. Gone is much sincerity and intellec- tual honesty And the fickle electronic magic of television may even create an entirely false picture -- such as almost certainly cost Richard Nixon the U.S. presidency in' 1960. Our grandfathers had a say- ing about not buying a pig in a poke; we recently had a law about not buying a pork pro- duct in misleading packaging. Should we not get back to the days of political rallies, whistle- stops and seeing our would-be leaders face-to-live-face? PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM No matter what the state of the economy, prices are always the same -- that is, they're too high on what we have to buy and too low on what we sell, "The fact that man is the only animal that laughs is proof of his superior intelligence," says an educator, Oh, no, it isn't. Nine times in ten when he laughs it's because of some fool thing a fellow man did. "You are no. younger than your feet feel,"' says a chiropo- dist. If true, the average woman is 77 years old, going on 85. "In what month can corn be planted?" asks a suburban gar- dener. Corn can be planted in any month.
