She Oshawa Cines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Voters Create Vacuvin In Canadian Politics The result of Monday's federal election has created what amounts to a vacuum in Canadian politics. It is an unhappy situation and potentially dangerous. The rush to fill a vacuum can have unpleasant consequences; history is full of examples. The fundamental cause of the current situation is, of course, the existence of four parties. When voters have more than two choices in a sim- ple ballot system, the possibility al- ways exists of party support being so evenly divided that strong govern- ment becomes impossible, and to hold office one party must make all sorts of compromises or deals with another party in order to retain power. This is the kind of thing that has reduced French parliamentary procedures to impotence and is pushing Italy in the same direction. Britain suffered rath- er briefly from divisive effect of hav- ing three parties, and may suffer again as the Liberals gain strength. Contributory factors in the pre- sent Canadian situation are the fail- ure of the four parties to present convincing programs to a disturbed electorate and. the failure of party leadership to inspire the electorates sustained confidence. , The voters have read the party leaders a lesson. They are not satis- fied with airy promises; they are tired of political souffles, and hunger for meat and potatoes. They are not so much concerned about "free" ser- vices in a greatly expanded welfare system as they are about their jobs, their take-home pay, the prospects of their children in a sound Canadian economy -- today, tomorrow, and the day after. The party that makes the most of this lesson will win the next elec- tion. The next test cannot come this year; the parties are physically and financially exhausted. but it cannot be long delayed. And if it, too, pro- duces an indecisive result, confidence in Canada will be sorely shaken. Oshawa And Industry City authorities should be in no rush to hire a new industrial com- missioner. Before they do any hiring there should be a frank and thorough examination of the industrial clim- ate in which the commissioner would operate. A worthwhile suggestion is that of Mayor Christine Thomas, that a decision be delayed at least until the Woods-Gordon report on Oshawa's civic administration is available for study. Mr. Kenneth Bath resigned be- cause he felt frustrated; he was not convinced that there was whole-heart- ed support of industrial expansion in Oshawa. For a man as full of ideas as Mr. Bath, such a feeling, justified or not, would be burdensome indeed. However that may be, his resignation should be taken by the authorities as a signal for a seaching exploration of industrial policy for the city. Does the city want to compete actively for new industry? If so, there must be a@ more aggressive (and more expen- sive) policy. Does the city want to wait for a Metro spill-over? If so, there is no need for an industrial commissioner, perhaps not even for an industrial commission. Does the city wish simply to "maintain a pre- sence" in the competition for indus- try? If so, the efficient establishment set up by Mr. Bath, directed by the industrial commission, may suffice. The ideal solution would be for the city to campaign strenuously for the setting up, under provincial lead- ership and guidance, of a system of regional commissions and commission- ers. But this is so logical that it is probably too idealistic at this time. Reaction In The Cities One of the questions the Conserv- atives will be seeking an answer for during the weeks ahead is: What happened in the big cities? Liberals and New Democrats whipped the Con- servatives in the big industrial cen- tres, even defeating a couple of cabinet ministers and giving a couple more the fight of their lives. When the Conservatives find the answer, they will also have the ex- planation. of Conservative setbacks in the industriz! provinces of Ontario and British Columbia. Quebec is an- other situation entirely; the winds of change have been blowing there ever since the death of Duplessis. Unease over fisca)-and monetary policy probably had a lot to do with the Ontario and B.C. results. The Coyne affair, for example,. seems to have left a stronger impression on factory workers than on farmers. And Ontario farmers were more upset by dollar devaluation than were their counterparts on the Prairies; devalu- ation boosted the price of imported farm machinery, but it also put up the price of wheat. One Traffic Answer Metropolitan Toronto, with the co-operation of the Ontario Depart- ment of Highways, seems to have hit on an interesting solution to the traffic problem. Very simply, it is to bring traffic to a complete standstill by tearing up both the approaches to the city and main arteries within the metropolitan area. There has been a suspicion grow- ing over the past few years that the limits of time and space would solve the problem by bringing Toronto traffic to a dead stop; the streets would be packed with cars, trucks, She Oshawa Times T.

Other Editors' Views IN THOSE DAYS (St. Catharines Standard) Here's an item from an old medical journal, quoted by the Ontario Safety League. "If the machine (automobile) ever attains the unlikely speed of 80 miles an hour, it will have to drive itself, for the human brain will be incapable of controlling it." Bible Thought Now they do it to receive a cor- ruptible crown: but we an incorrupt- ible. -- I. Corinthians 9:25. We practice self-control to win athletic events. Surely the crown of life merits self-discipline, PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES... ELECTION COMMENT No Satisfaction Found In Results Of Voting Toronto Star (Ind. Lib.): Few Canadians can take any reai satisfaction in the results of yesterday's general election. It has produced a situation little short of political chaos. The dominant trend . . . was a mas- sive withdrawal of public sup- port from the Progressive Con- servative government. This can only be interpreted, we believe, as a severe public rebuke to the government for its policies of the last five years. Toronto Telegram: The situa- tion facing the country is a per- iod of minority government at Ottawa. ...A meeting of Par- liament next fall will show how the lines will form and how the chips will fall... . It is alarmist to jump to the conclusion that this. is necessarily an unstable situation or that another elec- tion must be held soon. Vancouver Province: With the voters in their current mood of uncertainty between the two major parties, another election would seem to be a waste of time and money. A gentlemen's °,." agreement between the Conser- vatives and Socreds, whereby the latter would support the government in the House of Commons, would seem to offer the country a degree of govern- mental stability it could achieve in no other way. Winnipeg Free Press (Ind.- Lib): The present situation ob- viously cannot be permitted to continue for long. Having been repudiated by two thirds of the electorate Mr. Diefenbaker will not wish to govern for any pro- tracted period as the captive of right- or left-wing minority par- ties, and would be on very weak political and constitutional grounds if he were to attempt to do so. London Free Press: The out- look is that as Mr. Diefenbaker has the largest group he will face the next Parliament. He may not be as canny as Mac- kenzie King, but no one ques- tions his shrewdness as a poli- tician and no one wants the ex- pense of another election in the immediate future. However, the prospect is that another year will see a new appeal to the country. Barrie Examiner: The real surprise was the manner in which Social Credit gained in Quebec. . . . Now it practically holds the balance of power... . It would appear that we must settle down for some months of waiting and further electioneer- ing. . . . While it made impres- sive gains, Social Credit still does not figure large enough on a national scale to form a gov- ernment in the next election. That election should bring either of the old parties a work- ing majority. Cornwall Standard Free- holder: What the political future holds for Canada is somewhat nebulous at this time. Strong government is needed to pro- vide this country with efficient forward looking leadership in a complex changing world. Guelph Mercury: Today Can- ada is faced with another gen- eral election within a year. That is, unless the Progressive Con- servatives and the Social Cred- iters get together. But we feel there is little likelihood of a coalition government being formed. Hamilton Spectator: 'The Conservatives had nowhere to go but down. . . . Everyone knew it. In spite of this, the Conservatives took more seats . than they did when they came out of nowhere and shook up the Liberals so rudely in 1957 by edging Louis St. Lau- rent. Kitchener - Waterloo Record: . .. The surprising Social Credit victories in Quebec . . . possibly had less to do with the prin- ciples of Social Credit than with the disillusionment with both old parties... "The Liberals and Lester Pearson will take most comfort from new strength in Ontario, but their failure to make many gains in the Maritimes or the West must be discouraging. .. . "As to the Conservatives, they would be foolish to try to escape the meaning of yesterday's vote. The Canadian electorate has said as clearly as possible that it will not be satisfied with guvernment which is more in- terested in its image than its performance, Niagara Falls Evening Re- view: The situation, confused as it is, is very similar to that which prevailed in 1957 and which brought about a second election a year later. This can happen again, but Canadians generally will hope, we feel, that some accommodation can be reached between the Con- servatives and the Social Cred- iters for a reasonably stable administration. Failing to do this the Conservatives can do little else than call for another, and always costly and disrup- tive election. Peterborough Examiner: The results were gratifying to no one -- except, perhaps, Robert Thompson and his Social Credit party. The astonishing emer- gence of this widely-ridiculed party as a significant power in the House of Commons must be regarded as evidence of the Gallic drollery of Quebec vot- ers. Sarnia Observer: The elector- ate of Canada must face up to the luxury of another general election, probably before the end of the year. . . . The whop- ping majority the Progressive Conservatives piled up in the 1958 election was probably their undoing. . . . Canadians expect their government to have a so- called "safe" majority but not one which is over-balanced. Sudbury Star: Union Na. tionale in Quebec went looking for a home and found it in Social Credit. . . . The post- election diagnosis adds up to one thing--it was Social Credit who did the most damage to the Conservatives. . . . The ques- tion for the Socreds is whether Mr. Thompson, with four seats outside of Quebec, will be able to control Quebec Leader Caou- ette. Timmins Press: A... re- mark by Liberal Leader Lester B. Pearson is . . . perhaps a hopeful augury . . . Canada, he declared, is not suffering from any fundamental weakness. This declaration helps somewhat to discount the hand- wringing wails about the future in which Mr. Pearson himself, as well as some of his lieuten- ants, have indulged in recent Weeks. .

I am five feet, eight inches tall. I have been on a weight and height gaining pro- gram for 2-% years. I have gained 50 pounds in weight and nine inches in height but my waist has stayed the same. I'm still underweight so I've been eating four meals a day. I think I get enough exercise from being on the school swim- ming team and the 15 strenuous barbell routines I do at home to compensate for my over-eating. But my parents are scared that it will affect my heart. Who is right?--J. J. I like your letter, young man. It's worth noting that we have some interest in physical fitness among the newer generation. More power to you. Others please copy! According to my charts a normal growth spurt from age 12 to 15 is 7 or 8 inches and 40 pounds. You did a bit better than that in 2-% years, but your spurt could to a large ex- tent be natural for you, I'm sure your effort to eat properly and get exercise along with it certainly didn't hurt, though, As to being "underweight," BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Horticultural So- ciety started a series of visits to outstanding Oshawa gardens, District Go ve rnor Charles Fowler of Halifax paid his first official visit to the Oshawa Ki- wanis Club.

Your height and age call for 137 pounds, making you only three pounds short. F would not try too hard to get too chunky. It's healthier to be at or slightly below the standard weight. I wish your parents wouldn't worry about your heart, how- ever. All that exercise wi keep you from being flabby, and must be in excellent condition. Exercise never hurt a healthy heart. The heart adjusts to ex- ertion and the old notion of "athletic heart" hasn't a of fact to support it. It's a myth. J I wonder if your folks hap- pened to read about Clarence DeMar, the famous marathon runner who died a few months ago at a ripe old age. Fifty years ago, or so, he was told that he had a poor heart and should avoid exercise. In- stead he continued running, and for years winning 20 or 25-mile races, At his death, doctors found that, indeed, -he had had some trouble in his youth but his con- stant exercise had built collat- eral capability into the heart to make up. I don't mean that I would recommend distance racing for heart patients, naturally. Doubt- less he was fortunate in being able to gauge the amount of ex- ertion he could withstand in this process of building. up his heart. The point is that the heart, if healthy and sometimes even if faulty, adjusts to the amount of work its owner is doing. Dear Dr. Molner: I have a friend who is a fine young mother but she habitually feeds her child from her plate, using the same spoon, etc. Relatives do the same and the precious child, in a room full of rela- tives, will go from one to an- other for ice cream from each spoon. What diseases can be caught this way?--MRS. J. H. About any you might mention in polite society, from colds to trench mouth. It's an excellent way to pass germs from one to another. I thought most people knew better. I hope the child doesn't catch anything. I even hope that the child, just coming down with some disease, doesn't distribute the disease to the whole passel of spoon-feed- ing relatives and friends.
