She Oshawn Simes [ee Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Khrushchev Gives Nod To Anti-Bomb Parades Last month 65 Labor members of the British Parliament wrote to Premier Khrushchev in protest a- gainst the Soviet Union's proposed resumption of nuclear testing. Khru- shchev's reply came this week, and it was typical: It's all the fault of the West. He conveniently ignored the fact that it was the Soviet Union that broke the nuclear tests, morator- ium and thus forced the U.S. to re- sume testing. The Western tests, he said, made new Russian tests neces- sary. The note did more than reveal the utter cynicism of the Soviet lead- er. It showed the hope he pins on anti- bomb and anti-testing demonstrations in the West. He appealed to public organizations and political and pub- lic leaders in the West to campaign in favor of "peace and disarmament." If the "ban the bomb" marchers had any doubt about their usefulness to the Communists, they should be quite certain now. { This kind of disarmament Khrue shchev wants is a word-of-honor a- greement; he does not want inspect- ion of any kind. The Khrushchev honor is already in tatters as a result of agreements and promises made and broken. As U.S. Secretary of State Rusk said Sunday night, "The Sov- iet Union must realize that it cannot eat the cake of disarmament and keep the cake of secrecy." And the ban- the-bombers should realize that only the nuclear power of the United States deters Mr. Khrushchev from enforc- ing the kind of peace he has in mind. Human Rights Code The Ontario Human Rights Code is now in effect. It consolidates the Ontario Human Rights Commission Act, the Fair Employment Practices Act, the Female Employees Fair Re- muneration Act and the Fair Accom- modation Practices Act. Enforcement and education are the responsibility of the Human Rights Commission. It is a noteworthy effort to give human decency the force and back- ing of law. According to reports, the Fair Accommodation section has al- ready shown reassuring results. As an effort to end discrimina- tory practices in Ontario, it deserves praise and the fullest measure of sup- port from all citizens. But it should not be taken for granted that because the Code exists, the discriminatory practices will come to an end in the province. There must 'be constant watchfulness, to assist the Commis- sion in its work and to. ensure that the Commission is doing its work. Also, it cannot be taken for grant- ed that the Code is perfect just as it is. There is the Female Employees Fair Remuneration section, for ex- ample, but no Male Employees Fair Remuneration section. It can be im- proved. That is the next step. Lumbering Enterprise It is a curious fact that the peo- ple who speak most reverently of 'free enterprise" are often the ones who go screaming to governments for help when they get hurt. Perhaps that is why the phrase no longer has much meaning. There is private enterprise, as distinct from public enterprise, but "free enterprise" is rarely to be found these days. There are too many restrictions, taxes, sanctions, tariffs and conventions for enterprise to be really free; and the phrase all too often is used by people who want only their own enterprise to be free and that of their competitors controlled. The U.S. lumber industry in the Pacific Northwest has gone to Wash- ington to ask President Kennedy to- protect it against the Canadian lumber industry. Alarmed by increasing sales Space, Time There will probably be more Americans than ever crowding into Canada during the first week in July, with the devalued dollar as an extra lure this year. This means that there will be more cars than ever on Can- adian roads during the July 1 holiday week. Traffic authorities are already beginning to make gloomy prophecies about the numbers of men, women and children who will be killed and injured during that week, in Canada and the United States. In July, August and September last year, there were 586 people killed and 13,242 injured in 48,102 report- able accidents on Canadian highways. These are the holiday months, the months when motorists try to travel too far too fast during vacations and She Oshawa Zimes T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

It doesn't matter to the lumbermen that Canada buys from the U.S. far more 'than it sells, or that quotas against Canadian lumber will raise U.S. prices and increase use of lumber substi- tutes. They complain that devaluation of the Canadian dollar gives the Can- adians an unfair advantage -- even though the Canadian sales were in- creasing at a time when the Canadian dollar was at a premium. The U.S. lumbermen do not want to compete the hard way -- the way of greater efficiency to lower prices, or great quality to justify higher prices. They want to compete the easy way -- the way of protection against competition by government action. This is free enterprise? And Death weekends; the months when motor- ists with frayed nerves and tired brains play the highway equivalent of Russian roulette, taking chances that seem insane to the more rested and sensible users of the roads. Th message of the safety experts is simply this: Drivers should use care, courtesy and common sense. The man who boasts about covering 500 miles in a day is a menace; s0 is the man who exceeds speed limits to cut a few minutes from his driving time. Other Editors' Views MOVE OVER (London Free Press) According to a United Nations statistical report, the world's popula- tion has passed the 3,000,000,000 mark. As nearly as we can tell the total was 545,000,000 in 1650; 728,- 000,000 in 1750? 1,171,000,000 in 1850 and 2,500,000,000 in 1950. At the present rate it would double approx- imately every 70'years.

This questi on is urgently posed by the publication this week of new population statis- tics of federal electoral constit- uencies. These emphasis how Toronto is rapidly sprawling all over the countryside. The 11 "Toronto" constitu- encies are generally considered to form our self-styled "Queen City." But seven 'York' con- stituencies now cluster paunch- ily around her like a layer of undigested fat. Should not the surplus. calor- jes now pouring into the "Yorks" be spread more equit- ably among the hungry munic- ipalities elsewhere in Ontario or in Canada? The 11 Toronto ridings housed 707,580 people in 1956, They were just about fully built - up then. But a few more faceless ants could be crowded into them by tearing down old man sions and replacing them with concrete cliff-dwellings. So by 1961 the population had grown only slightly, to 716,779. DYSPEPTIC SUBURBS But in contrast the suburban Yorks fattened on the diet of Hogtown affluence over the past five years. Those seven York ridings ballooned in population from 733,011 to 1,016,329, That five-year accretion of fat in Tor- onto's semi - detached suburbs was equivalent to creating ten entirely new detached cities each the size of Galt. York- Scarborough, already the size REPORT FROM U.K. Enemy Of Board Becomes Member By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Harry Wright, the rebel tomato king, who has been campaigning to kill the Tomato and Cucumber Marketing Board, has been elected a mem- ber of the board he is pledged to destroy. This tough York- shireman, implacable enemy of all the board has endeavored to do for the industry, and who has reduced many board meetings to chaos and uproar by his an- tics, is now able to walk into the board's headquarters in Lon- don and sit down at the board table. For the first time since he was thrown off the board eight years ago, he can walk in unchallenged. Harry Wright was returned to office on the board in a by- election. He had a resounding two-to-one victory in the North- ern region of five counties over the retiring member J. L. Monks of Durham. Eight years ago Mr. Monks defeated Mr. Wright and took over his seat on.the board. Now the position has been reversed. ABOLITION TICKET Mr. Wright, however, was elected as an abolitionist candi- date and on an abolition ticket. So he will lose no time in carry- ing his "wind-it-up" campaign into the board itself. He said: "No one can now accuse me of speaking only for a minority of rebels. I sent an election ad- dress to each of the 434 register- ed voters in my constituency. In it I stated clearly my belief that the board should be wound up. I was returned by approximate- ly 1,400 votes to 700 in a 50 per cent' poll, which I believe, is the highest ever recorded in a board election. "This shows," said Mr. Wright, '"'that the growers are behind me, and I shall go ahead with plans to close the board down before it wastes any more of the growers' money." VOTED PAY CUT Mr. Wright was one of the leaders of a group of 26 jubilant growers who at the last annual meeting voted that the remuner- ation of board members should be cut to a contemptuous two cents a year. Already he has sbeen asked by a group of Lin- colnshire growers to move at the mext annual meeting that there be a further cut to half-a-cent a year. Caretaker chairman of the board is Ken Ripley, 40-year-old Newton Abbott grower. He has been head of a caretaker com- mittee which has been operat- ing since all the board mmbers tendered their resignations after the annual meeting had cut their pay to a token sum. Mr. Ripley has appealed for no inquests into the board's stormy past, and for a concert- ed effort to operate it for the benefit of the industry. The retiring members who were again returned to the board, however, are pledged to wind it up within two years if the growers will not vote it com- pulsory powers to grade and market tomatoes. Says belligerent Mr. Wright. "Why wait for two years?" ' Galts to a population of 267,252. The sociological question _ posed by this population port- liness is whether Canada and Canadians would not _ benefit more by the creation of four new Galts--airy, green-belted, ; happy, healthy communities -- , rather than by six -- Galt Scar- borough gobbling a meal which brings noise, conformity and concrete to its dyspeptic popu- lation The economic question is whether other Ontarians, indeed other Canadians, would or should pay the heavy price in tribute and self starvation which enables Hogtown to grow hoggier; and of course our other big cities to grow' bigger, at their expense. Under our constitution, there is nothing that can be done by our federal government to ameliorate this situation, aware though the authorities are of the need. Community-planning, including the building of work- ers' homes and the location of industry, falls within the juris- diction of provincial govern- ments WE NEED ACTION Confederation gave the prov- inces full autonomy in such fields; and while every prov- ince greedily hoards those rights, most fail to use them fully to provincial or national advantage. U.S.A. has long been deplor- ing the urban sprawl around New York City, which has cre- ated a virtually solid concrete jungle stretching from Boston to Baltimore. Britain has since the war planned and built and populated satellite cities and "New Towns" rather than see Greater London grow greater. But Ottawa has been powerless to ameliorate Canadians' living conditions by steering us away from the former error towards the latter solution. But our federal department of public works and our Central Mortgage and Housing Corpora- tion are alert to this problem. And some private bodies, such as the Community Planning As- sociation of Canada, are work- ing through education and con- ferences to alert us. The health of Canadians and the strength of our economy urgently call for positive plan- ning; this might be achieved as the result of a Dominion - pro- vincial conference, as a logical parallel of the work of our new National Productivity Council. BY-GONE DAYS . 25 YEARS AGO Lodges of the IOOF held their annual decoration jay services in the Union (Ceme- tery. H. P. Schell was re-elected president at the annual meet- ing of the Children's Aid Society. David Haverson, Athol street east, was congratulated on completing 52 years of con- tinuous service as a teacher in St. Andrew's Sunday School. Thirty building permits were ~ granted in Oshawa by Engineer J. H. Brown during the month of May, valued at $19,410. Teddy Morgan, 162 Ritson road south, won the Toronto shield for the best tap dancer at a contest held at North Toronto, County Council decided to undertake no new road paving in 1937. The Junior Chamber of Com- merce installed Neil Fraser as chairman, William Hart, vice-chairman and Sid Fergu- son, secretary-treasurer for the ensuing year. The first annual open house held at South Simcoe Street School was a decided success. Principal J. C. Fetterly with Mrs. J. V. Johnston, president of the Home and School Asso- ciation, received the guests. Employees of the frei ght department of the Oshawa Railway Company went on strike for higher wages. The annual Rotary Fair was opened with a parade on Sim- coe street with over 200 ve- 'hicles taking part. Ontario County Council adopt- ed a tax rate of 9.85 mills at' its June session. _Edouard Bartlett, local vio- linist, appeared at Hambourg Conservatory music recital, ac- companied by Reginald Geen, in the Jarvis Collegiate H all, Toronto. Sixty-three children were given dental attention by the Public Health dentists during the month of May, according to a report submitted to the Board of Health meeting. Oshawa Sea Cadets were highly praised for their effi- ciency at their annual inspec- tion. Edward §. Campin, Simcoe street south, was winner of the Grand prize of a Chevrolet sedan at the Rotary Fair. ELECTION COMMENT Four-Way Split Settles Nothing By THE CANADIAN PRESS Following are excerpts from @ditorials in representative Ca- nadian newspapers on the Do- minion election. Except as noted, all newspapers quoted describe themselves as politic- ally independent. Charlottetown Guardian: Con- servative party planners were reconciled to the loss of seats in this contest, but they ex- pected to come through with something more than the 133 minimum number. The Liberal leaders, for their party, had an awesome handi- cap to overcome. While they, too, predicted victory, they failed to come up with any burn- ing issue which would fire the electorate. Their substantial achievement at the polls is all the more impressive in view of this fact. Saint John Telegraph-Journal: If a deadlock is going to develop YOUR HEALTH Weight Affects in every second election, Cana- dians must face the fact that this is the price they pay for the luxury of having not two but four national parties--an af- fliction 'similar to the mul- tiple-party malady that kept France's public affairs in chaos so long and so often. : Moose Jaw Times - Herald: - . « The election is a case of out of the frying pan into the fire. The electors said in very definite fashion that they wanted a change from indeci- siveness and they got a Parlia- ment loaded with uncertainties. It appears about as clear as it could be stated that Mr. Doug- las, having made the Saskat- chewan medical care plan. a political issue, that the people want none of it. . . . Tonight's results can be taken as the handwriting on the wall for the existing CCF-NDP party in this province Fallen Stomach By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I have had a fallen or dropped stomach since I was 28 and am now 40. It gets worse with age. I have to wear a special girdle, and there are not many days that I don't have an upset stomach. My doctor says nothing can be done except to wear the girdle. Isn't there some operation that would help? MRS. M.E. I wish you'd mentioned your weight, for reasons we'll get to. This condition, also known as visceroptosis, is really rather common. Sufferers of visceroptosis (simply a dropping of the ab- dominal organs) apparently have a weakness of the fibrous or supporting tissues (ligaments etc.) which hold these organs in place. This may in many cases be a born weakness, as some people have weaker feet, weaker eyes or whatnot. It oc- curs much more often in people who are thin. Perhaps for that very reason many of them do not understand the value of a specially fitted girdle, which isn't, as is so often the case, intended to give shape to ex- cess fat. Rather, it is fitted to give support where it will help hold the sagging organs up in their normal position. What happens is that the stomach, bowel, and related digestive organs sag lower than they should, The stomach is slow in emptying, there's a tendency toward constipation, and the automatic nervous acti- vity of the digestive tract be- comes sluggish. Bloating, belch- ing and vague abdominal dis- tress are symptoms, Since the victims so often are lean, gaining weight can be helpful. A few pounds of fat provide some filling or padding that may push the sliding-down organs upward a bit. A diet which promotes ade- quate bowel activity is also helpful. That means some in- crease in bulk (vegetables, mainly); laxative fruits of which prunes are a famous ex- ample; and adequate protein (lean meat, fish, cheese, eggs). Surgery isn't successful. It has been tried and for a time was used, until its lack of suc- cess led to general abandon- ment. After all, it's not a sim- ple problem. It isn't like tying a knot in a kite string. It's more like trying to repair a run in a nylon stocking -- possible, but too intricate to be practical. Today the better answer is support (a girdle, if it works, and it often does); toning up your system with exercise; im- proving your posture; taking care to eat regularly; and proper diet. Dear Dr. Molner: Some peo- ple claim that citrus juices will help relieve arthritis. Is this so? MRS. ELL. No. There is no specific food which affects arthritis -- al though a balanced diet is better for an arthritis patient, just as it is better for anybody. As with so many physical conditions, a person who is. convinced that some gimmick will help, is very likely to feel better for a time. It's a psychological truism. Dear Dr. Molner: I have a relative who gave up smoking. Now he chews gum incessantly. Won't this affect his saliva or throat in time? MRS, C.K. No. It's good exercise. But dentists are not very happy about people who keep popping in a fresh stick. of gum, be- cause the constant bathing of the teeth with sugar can en- courage cavities. Red Deer Advocate: Social Credit upsurged as a new power on the federal scene, but the emphasis has switched from the West to Quebec, The only two provinces ever to elect Social Credit governments did not flock to the green and white colors as Mr. Thompson and his lieutenants had predicted. Mr. Thompson is rightly jubilant as leading Social t's greatest federal triumph, but he has to face the fact that it is a victory for French-Canadian radicalism rather than a triumph for West- ern Social Credit, Regina Leader-Post (ind.L)t "The indecisive result con firmed indications that after five years of administering the - nation's affairs, Prime Minister Diefenbaker and his govern- ment had lost the confidence. of the electors. Ironically . . . the nation may be fated to have an even weaker administration . . . The vote in Regina can be con- strued only as an indication of the rebuff of the NDP and all that it stands for--including the mishandling of the medical care matter by the provincial gov- ernment--by the people,"' Toronto Globe and Mail; The nation can take no satisfaction from the results of the general election, At a time when there is need for strong government, it is clear that we shall have weak and divided government. At a time when there is need for national unity, there is po- litical fragmentation. . . . Foreign confidence in Canada has already been shaken, as we have seen in the weakening of the dollar in recent months. The election does nothing to restore confidence. . . . Another elec- tion within a year appears probable. ..Montreal Le Nouveau Journal (Ind.): Already in power in Al- berta and British Columbia, So- cial Credit is now deeply rooted in our province. Thus, it has become a na- tional party and what is more, a party which is already well- entrenched in French-Canada. One need not be a palm reader to guess what will hap- pen at the first opportunity or more exactly, at the next elec. tion. The unstable government which now represents hardly one Canadian out of three, to- gether with the Social Credit which has overnight become in the eyes of the voter, an alter native, is all in all what this electoral campaign, which many believed quite dull, has given the nation.
