She Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, MAY 29, 1962---PAGE 6-- Municipal Government Revision Recommended The town and village section of the Ontario Municipal Association, meet- ing in Timmins the other day, re- commended that a study be made of municipal government in Ontario. Delegates agreed that the present system is outmoded and in need of revision. : It is, indeed. ' Municipal Affairs Minister Cass has suggested that the British North America Act recognizes only two levels of government, federal and pro- vincial, and municipalities are gov- erned, in fact, by a sort of delegated authority. That may make a topic for an interesting academic argument be- tween people versed in constitutional! law, but the reality is that municipal Water From The London-Kitchener area has been worried for years about the pro- visions of adequate supplies of water for its growing communities, The rivers have been dwindling or have become so polluted as to be good for nothing but service as open sewers; water tables have been dropping steadily, and wells have had to be drilled deeper and deeper. The idea of a pipeline from Lake Huron or Lake Erie to carry water to the inland communities has been talked about since the early 50s. As we recall, engineers of the Ontario Water Resources Commission, have given it some thought. Now along comes a Sarnia business man who gays he can raise the money for a pipeline to deliver water from Lake Huron to London at a cost of 28 cents government is not only recognized by those governed but is the closest to the governed. And it is organized in a system that was admirable in 1862 but is badly out of date in 1962. There are too many municipal gov- ernments, and municipalities are pre- vented from doing the best possible job for citizens by their financial resources. What is needed is a thorough .revision of both municipal structure and financing. It has been suggested that county councils are obsolete. But it can be argued just as well that town coun- cils are obsolete -- that what is needed, in fact, is a sort of regional council, provided with a sound means of financing its operations. The Lakes for 1,000 gallons and at a minimum rate of 15 million gallons a day. The Kingston Whig -Standard questions whether a private individual has the legal right to pump water from a crown-owned source and sell it to municipalities. The Ontario Water Resources Commission has supervision of all sources of public water supply in the province. More- over, Lake Huron is part of an inter- national waterway, and the Inter- national Joint Commission has a re- sponsibility in this direction. London is looking into other sources of water supply. But the question of pumping from the Great Lakes must be faced sooner or later, and the OWRC should be fully prepared. Chicago's attempts to take more water from Lake Michigan have aroused an international furore. Taking Olympic Oath * The Canadian Amateur Hockey 'Association -- a laughable name in itself -- seems to tkink that lying is perfectly all right as long as it has some official approval. That is the only conclusion one can draw from the decision of the CAHA that Can- ada's Olympic hockey players can take the Olympic oath, even though they get paid for "time off the job", because the international association says it's okay. President Jack Roxburgh with the support of Ontario and Quebec mem- bers of the executive, quite properly took the position that the Canadian players could not in honesty take the oath that they were amateurs in the true Olympic sense. To swear falsely, said Mr. Roxburgh -- and more credit to him -- is not only bad in itself but sets an atrocious example. for our young people. It is good enough to say that other countries pay their athletes, who therefore violate the Olympic oath every time they take it. An evil thing does not become good simply because it is condoned by Russians or Swedes or Americans or anybody else. Until the oath is changed or until we can produce a hockey team that does not have to make a false declara- tion, Canada should of Olympic hockey. stay out For The Fence-Sitters A street check by an Oshawa Times reporter last week indicated that most people in the city may have already made up their minds how they will cast their votes on June 18. Public opinion surveys across the country, however, still show a subs- tantial number of uncommitted vot- ers. "We know that no one loves a fence-sitter," says the Hamilton Spec- tator. "There is something to be said for it though. The perspective is better up there. It gives a man a chance to look about and see what's what... Another good thing about a fence- sitter. You can always hope that you may pull him down on your side, or if you don't want him on your team She Oshawa Times 7. &. WILSON, Publisher C.

"Whether there is much merit in this philosophy or not, it has some relevance at the moment. Most of the campaign oratory we will hear in the weeks ahead will not be aimed at the committed political partisans... Those fence- sitters, those persons who may be so swayed to topple to one side or the other, they are the ones who will be getting the atten- tion." If that is so, then Oshawa should have some relief from oratory. Other Editors' Views QUEBEC ONE OF TEN (Halifax Chronicle-Herald) As the second largest of the 10 provinces, Quebec naturally exercises a larger voice in the affairs of the country than the smaller provinces. It cannot claim, however, to have influence equal to the sum total of the others simply because in its own view it comprises one nation and the rest of Canada another nation.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I would like to know why a friend of mine dropped dead of a heart attack. She used only powdered milk, no butter and no meat with fat She was not overweight. She died at 60 Then there's my dad. He's 75. He eats his home-grown hogs and the fat runs off his chin from the chops and bacon . He eats butter like it was going out of style, drinks about two quarts of milk a day, and I've even seen him put whipped cream on doughnuts. Now as far as my friend's doctor was concerned, my dad should have had the heart at- tack and she should have lived past 75. My dad isn't fat, though--about 5 feet 8 inches tail and weighs 155 pounds. I will be watching for an answer and so will my dad.--MRS. J. S. Move over and make room for me, and we'll all wait for an answer, because your ques- tion is being studied every- where It is quite evident that heart attacks do not result from any single cause. Heredity seems to be important, in that it governs the kind of arteries we have. Atherosclerosis the accu- lation of fatty material in: the arteries, thus narrowing the passageway for the blood flow obviously important. The narrower the coronary artery becomes, the more chance of its becoming clogged and caus- ing a heart attack What causes this atheroscler- osis? We have strong suspicions it is related to the amount of fatty materials in the blood, cholesterol being only one of them. But it isn't only that. TODAY IN HISTORY TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS May 29, 1962...

So the real question is why they become deposited in the artery walls Overweight is a factor, but thin people have heart attacks, too, although not as frequently. Nearly every medical centre is working on one phase or another of heart disease. So are the American Heart Associa- tion, the National Institutes of Health and researchers in. hun- dreds of hospitals. From. Jogic and from evi- dence we already have, there are probably factors that so far haven't been suspected Your dad, since he isn't fat, probably has been active enough to use up these hearty meals he eats. He must also have inherited healty arteries. Who knows? Your friend might have died sooner if she hadn't been careful. Or she might have lived longer if she had worked as vigorously as, apparently, your father has. I say "might have," because there is so much that we do not yet know, but can only sus- pect. But isn't that an excellent reason for supporting the med- ical research in this field? Dear Dr. Molner: What causes plugging of the nose? It affects me so much that I have to breathe through my mouth. --R. D Such plugging can be from: 1. -- Crooked septum -- the septum being the partition, made of cartilage, between the nostrils. It is easily bent from injury, often sustained in child- hood but not noticed until much later 2 -- Polyps, benign growths incited by chronic irritation, as infection, or, more often, al- lergy: 3 --Enlarged adenoids. This is more common, however, in children 4 -- Chronic sinus disease The first two are more likely. NOTE TO MRS. W.

BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO The new Oshawa Boy Scouts headquarters was opened on Athol street with John A. Stiles, chief commissioner for Canada of the Boy Scout Association, the guest speaker. Mayor W. H. Gifford, G. W. McLaughlin, W G. Corben, president of the local association and W. 1. Pierson, Ist vice-president, were among those who attended the cere- monies. A Women's Air Force Aux- iliary was organized in Oshawa with Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin ap- pointed president. Oshawa public schools and OCVI purchased $40,000 in War Savings Stamps and Certificates to the end of April 1942. A total of 600 recruiis had signed on for active service al the Oshawa Armories within 13 months and 203 of that number were Oshawa men. Players of the Oshawa Gen- erals hockey team, OHA cham- pions for five successive years, were feted at a presentation ban- quet. Officials of the Ontario Hockey Association and the Can- adian Amateur Hockey Associ- ation paid high tribute to the re- cord-making team when tro- phies and gold medals were pre- sented to the players. W. L. Dibbon of Oshawa was elected District Governor of the Association of Kinsmen Clubs of Canada.

An announcement was made that the combined campaign for the Canadian Red Cross and the Oshawa Community Fund pas- sed the objective of $76,000. The General Motors Choir, under the direction of Reginald Geen, concluded the current season with the presentation of a brilliant and versatile concert at GM-Auditorium. READERS' VIEWS Oshawa Schools French Courses Dear Sir: Over the past few years, it seems that every organized group interested in education has passed a resoultion in favor of beginning French | in the early grades of elementary schools. It was even suggested at the recent conference of the Ontario Educational Association that Kindergarten teachers should be 'bilingual. It remains now for the Ontario Department of Education to include this sub- ject in the required curriculum. One wonders why it has taken so long in the light of facts sup- plied by them to the School Education Chairman of the On- tario Federation of Home and School Associations last year. Thirty-two years (yes as long ago as that), schools in London, Ontario and Rockcliffe Park in Ottawa began to teach French to students in the elementary schools. Since then, at least 84 Boards of Education in Ontario have followed this example so that, at the present time, more than 50,000 elementary school children are receiving instruc- tion in Oral French. Permission to give this instruction must be granted to each board by the department and records of their experiences are not made avail- able to board introducing the subject for the first time. In the Fall of 1958, Oral French was introduced into the Oshawa Elementary schools on an experimental basis when two Grade 7 classes were given in- struction by regular classroom teachers with no previous ex- perience or instruction in teach- ing the subject and with very limited guidance from local au- thorities. Small wonder that, after two years, this "experiment" was considered unsuccessful and the course was dropped. This writer was one of the persistent types who felt that, since the admini- strators had 'seen fit to intro- duce it in the first place, it would be a pity to discard the course on the basis of such a dubious effort. It is open to question whether the French Club, which has been permitted to exist in the Dr. S. J. Phillips School for the past two years, can qualify as official continuance of Oral French instruction. The instruc- tor is fully competent but is al- Local Candidates Play lowed only one half hour per week after school hours with only one group of 30 or more so students picked from three rade 8 classes. Many more indicated an interest and desire to be included but were not per- mitted. Two reasons are advanced by local administrators for discon- tinuing Oral Frenc classes in Oshawa Public Schools; concern about public attitude toward the additional cost of the course and difficulty in hiring qualified in- structors. Eighty - four other boards in Ontario have appar- ently overcome these obstacles, including the neighboring town of Whitby, and we already have a competent teacher instructing the French Club. The Ontario Federation of Home and School Associations was one of the aforementioned groups who passed a resolution several years ago to encourage the teaching of Oral French in the elementary schools in the province. To further encourage our own Board Administrators to get full information on the subject, the Oshawa and Dis- trict Home and School Council arranged a program last De- cember which included a de- monstration by Mr. Paul doin, teacher of Oral French in the Oakville Public schools. Other guest speakers were Mr, Allan Fish, Business Admini- strator for the Oakville Public School System and Dr. Robetr Gauthier, Director of French Instruction for the Ontario De- partment of Education and the "Gau" half of the originators of the "Tan-Gau" method of learning a second language. These gentlemen were in a posi- tion to answer any question which might be asked concern- ing the development of a course in Oral French in our city. Invitations were extended to all those who might be interest- ed or concerned and the meet- ing was advertised in the news- paper. Dr. C. M. Elliott, Super- intendent of Oshawa Public Schools, was on a panel discus- sion with the guest speakers, along with the chairman of the co-ordinating curriculum com- mittee, Mr. Robert Sheffield, vice-principal of Donevan. Col- legiate. There was a good re- More Important Roles By ARCH MacKENZIE OTTAWA (CP) -- The local candidate, often lost in the na- tional attention paid party lead- ers during an election cam- paign, may assume a bigger role this time, evidence indi- cates. How much weight he swings will be decided by the voters June 18 But it's widely agreed that this is not 1958 when the Pro- gressive Conservatives swept 208 of the 265 Commons seats. Prime Minister Diefenbaker do- minated that campaign to such an extent that some people, in- cluding Conservatives, have suggested a good many govern- ment candidates rode to victory on his coat-tails. Just how much influence an individual candidate has in a federal election is always a good debating point, although it's conceded that one with all the desirable attributes is excellent insurance. Conservative planners say there is far more activity by local candidates this time. They claim superior candidates in seats not won in 1958 but stress that Mr. Diefenbaker still is their No. 1 attraction. They say surveys show Mr. Diefenbaker tends to lead the party in pop- ularity while -- conversely -- Liberal Leader Pearson tends to trail his party in appeal. MAY MEAN LITTLE In their view, this appears to average age is under 40 years. New emphasis may be put on the party candidates, officials say, on grounds that Liberals hold an advantage man for man across the country. They suggest too that the im- age of the "team" will be out- lined as one incorporating a ta- lented second string as well as known names such as Mitchell Sharp, former deputy trade min- ister, national campaign organ- izer Walter Gordon and former cabinet ministers Paul Martin, J. W. Pickersgill and Lionel Chevrier. Jo- a presentation from the Board ad- ministrative staff and members of the French curriculum com- mittee but -- not one member of the Oshawa Board of Education appeared. No matter how enthusiastic and convinced anyone else may be about this subject, the Board alone has the power to decide whether or not it will supply the necessary funds to allow the students of Oshawa Elemen- tary Schools to have the advan- tage of instruction in Oral French. In the final analysis, it is the voters who decide through their choice of trustees, but only every two years, and it is difficult to imagine the teaching of Oral French becom- ing an election issue. Why teach French in elemen- tary schools? One language is required for entrance into any University de- gree course and French is pre- ferred, French is Canada's second of- ficial language. Students in Grade 9 who are planning to take the five-year academic course will be requir- ed to take French. Present examination methods in secondary schools are not conducive to the oral fluency of even the. best pupils of French. Already crowded curriculum in secondary schools points to a need for introduction of this subject earlier. Dr. Wilder .Penfield, world- famous Canadian neurologist, asserts that units of language are more easily assimilated by children below secondary school ge. Greater mobility of people within Canada as well as the rest of the world makes a sec- ond language not only desirable but necessary. Problems separating French -- and English-speaking Cana- dians stand a better chance of being overcome by face-to-face discussion. Learning another language helps us to become more profi- cient in the use of our mother tongue. Another argument against in- troducing Oral French instruc- tion is that educators are being asked to add to an already over- crowded curriculum. Many ar- ticles have been written lately about the urgent need to revise the present courses of studies in the elementary schools. It is to be hoped that, those who are being entrusted with cur- riculum revisions will include some method of French instruc- tion in their plans, with provi- sion for increasing the scope of the course as more qualified instructors become available. MRS. D. K. STILES They argue that contrary to Mes what the Conservatives say, Mr. Diefenbaker is being down- graded by some local candi- dates and that one or two Con- servative candidates are even soft-pedalling the party affilia- tion.
