Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Hope For The Future Seen With Co-operation The Welland Tribune says that the best hope for future is an arena where government, business and labor work together with wholesale respect for the problems all have to face, and show a willingness to be sensible and constructive. "This is surely the easiest way to achieve sound economy," says the paper editorially, and adds: "The top Republican Party lead- ers of the United States gathered for a conclave at Gettysburg over the weekend and in spite of general- ly optimistic speeches about the prospects' of the party in elections this year, a number of the keymen left the conference more than a little disturbed at a statement made by former President Eisenhower. "The surprising utterance by "Ike" consisted of a declaration of pride in what he called "an alliance of busi- ness with the Republican Party." Eisenhower was quoted as saying to the gathering -- "We have often been called the party business and I for one am proud of that. Business men are waking up to the fact that politics means more to business than they thought." "It has long been accepted that business people believe their interests are better served when the Republi- cans are in control. While occupying the White House and since leaving the presidential mansion, Eisenhower's choice of friends and companions had been almost exclusively from the magnate class. Not that Kennedy has resorted to the Bowery or to the docks for his guests. But there has been a significant change. Instead of tycoons ringing the door bell at the White House, the parade has been made up mainly of poets, writers, thinkers and goodly representation of the arts in general. "One notable exception has been the president of the United States Steel Corporation, who was called in by President Kennedy after the steel price hike showdown, to hear the chief executive emphasize that his strongly-worded intervention did not represent an anti-business attitude. Ever since that issue, Mr. Kennedy has been striving strenuously to re- assure business, indicating perhaps a realization that he yielded to verbal excess when he condemned the action of Big Steel. : ' The jolt received by top men in the Republican Party at the weekend was the fact that Ike openly hailed the idea that the party had an alliance with business. Despite his associa- tions, it was something he didn't say while he was president. Even if he had sought to acknowledge such an alliance while in the White House, he would have met tremendous opposi- tion from his counsellors. "In some cases it would be pretty difficult to deny an alliance between government and a certain strata of the population. Yet the public will be uneasy over a regime declaring it- self in favor of business over labor, or labor over business, or if it indi- cates that any particular segment holds preferential position. "There's nothing wrong with a party or government wanting to do all it can for business. In fact many leaders of industry and economists believe that governments have made conditions too oppressive or difficult for business. But government should be for all the people and the Republi- ean leaders who are wincing under the Eisenhower weekend statement realize full well that the declaration was painfully divisive", Irrelevant Preaching By REV. C. D. WILSON St. George's Anglican Church Ministers are often told to avoid any controversial subject. What do the people who say this mean by controversial? One such item is seen as any doc- trine about which there is difference of opinion in the Christian Church. This would not only be a very broad restriction but if followed it would serve to preserve our differences. This century has seen a wonderful in- crease in Christian unity, much of which has been the result of frank discussion of differences in teaching. Half of the time we probably dis- agree with what we think the other person believes, not what he actually believes. Another item is that of specific moral issues. Many people believe that a preacher should never become more specific on moral issues than to state the Golden Rule! Anything more is considered an invasion of private in- terpretation. This I cannot see. Unless preachers interpret God's laws in specific instances, their people tend to assume that what 'everyone does' is satisfactory. People will endorse gen- eral Christian policies without obser- ving that they apply to daily matters of business, family life, politics, burial, budget, automobile buying and so forth. A friend recently said that he would have greater interest in the Church if Christ were shown to be relevant to concrete matters of daily living. His preacher must be specific or run the risk of being irrelevant. Christianity is demanding. Christ is Lord of all our activity. God's laws are always relevant, But this demands that Christians have the nerve to dis- cuss specific issues. It is far better to argue points with your minister than to restrict him to generalities, Christian preaching which studiously avoids controversy is usually insipid, weak, and boring. Christ must be preached both in wisdom and in bold- ness. Insect Collecting To the majority of us, bugs are at best a necessary evil, says The Ottawa Journal editorially. But to a few dedicated researchers and amateurs, collecting, classifying and studying them is a fascinating occupation. Says The Journal: "The recent re-issuing of a little She Oshawa Times T. L.

The influence of transformed people Aransforms others, : small By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The report of the Pilkington Committee on radio and television has condemned itself by its blatant one-sided ness. While its constructive fea- tures are accepted as being worthy of putting into effect, such as the go-ahead for color television, a. switch ot 625 line . TV from the present 405 line QUEEN'S PARK Austerity Suits Ontario Program By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Canada and On- tario. now are being given a challenge which could be the best thing that has ever hap- pened to us. We are going to have "auster- ity." To the individual it looks as though essentially he will have fewer frills. If he happens to have a crav- ing for an automatic ice cream maker and this isn't manufac- tured in Canada' he probably won't even be able to get it. If he drinks Scotch whisky or French wine he will probably have to pay enough more so that he will think twice whether he shouldn't go native and drink rye or catawba. But except for this the public generally may not be hurt too much. If wisely directed, for in- stance, the austerity program could be carried out without drastic unemployment. And in the long term the coun- try and the province could bene- fit greatly. FITS IN Before the program was an- nounced the province had been launched on two great aims: to increase exports and boost man- ufactures at home. Austerity fits in with this per- fectly. : The main cog in the Diefen- baker program is increased tar- iffs against imports--and partic- ularly against imports that are wholly manufactured outside the country. The tariffs, combined with the price increases from the deval- ued dollar, mean very substan- tial boosts in costs. And all Canadian manufactur- ers or merchandisers will be forced to see whether their com- ponents or products couldn't be made better in Candaa. On the other side of the coin we have to sell to live. And be- ing forced to this critical posi- tion it can be taken for granted we will take a look at ourselves to see why we aren't selling and where we can sell more. It is a look that has been long overdue. To take one instance we will discover just how good the qual- ity of our product is -- and whether it needs improving. The writer thinks it does. This is principally because he has had considerable experience with Canadian workmen, and has been left with the impres- sion that today most of them don't know what value is... value, or. quality. : If he is right--and the Minis- ter of Economics and Develop- ment, Hon. Robert Macaulay apparently doesn't think he is-- then we will find this out, and we will do something about it. And so 'with many of our ills. There unquestionably are many that need correction. YOUR HEALTH Can Test Blood For Many Things By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. "Dear Dr. Molner: What is blood tested for in a general checkup? E.1." Blood CAN be tested for aun- dreds of things. However, a relatively small number of "screening" tests are used in a general checkup. The 'blood count" gives three basic bits of information: the iron content (or hemoglobin), the number of red cells, which together with the iron content suggest anemia if the count is low; and finally the number of white cells. If this is high, it may indicate infection; if very high, leukemia; if low, other symptoms will be studied for less common conditions. A "differential smear" may be studied to identify particular types of white cells which may be more numerous in allergy eases, or particular types of in- fections, or blood ailments. Then, of course, the serum (liquid part of the blood) is routinely tested for the presence of syphilis--this particular test, of course, is the "blood test" re- quired .n so many states before granting a marriage license. Still other tests are for sugar levels (excessively high levels hinting strongly at diabetes) and for the nitrogen content, which is elevated in kidney dis- ease. The popular cholesterol test is more and more being in- C cluded as a routine procedure for the indications it gives of the arteries -- an approximate matter, as yet, but helpful. If history and observation raise a suspicion of other con- ditions, special tests may be in order to confirm it; fic acid for gout; calcium. for parathy- roid tisease; iodine for thyroid disorders. Lupus erythematosus a disease not as rare as we once thought, is subject to blood tests:' And many of the 'rarer diseases now are, being identi- fig] quickly and accurately by highly precise tests being used fin laboratories with special equipment. In the case of severe and stubborn infections, blood is cul- tured to determine the presence of germs in the blood stream, as well as to discover the exact strain involved, and to know what drugs will be most effec- tive. Indeed, special materials may then be prepared to com- bat the precise type of infec- tion. Thus a 'blood test" is not a rigid, fixed procedure. You be- gin with a variety of basic (and rapid) tests, then go on to the more difficult ones if circum- stances indicate tie need. Dear Dr. Molner: Is it possi- ble for a woman who has had her tubes tied ever to have chil- dren again?--D.P." Reopening the tubes requires delicate surgery, and no doctor can guaiantee success. How- ever, with skill and. good for- tune, sometimes it works. 'Dear Dr. Molner: Several years I was having a rapid heart beat, off and on. It started in high school. I had a complete physical and the doctor said I had paroxysmal tachycardia. I don't get the attacks often now but it is still on my mind. Does one ever outgrow this? I quit smoking five years ago and that is when it eased off--MRS. "Paroxysmal tachy cardia" means occasionai rapid heart- beat. Sometimes the cause is never found, Sometimes it is nerves. Quite often it is a sens- itivity to tobacco--as in your case. If test< show the heart to be basically healthy, the bursts of rapid beating are not' danger- ous, and the more you realize this, the less chance there is for further episodes. Too much caffein, as from coffee, tea or other sources, is another com- mon cause. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO The Oshawa Housing Commis- sion asked for permission to build more houses in Oshawa. The financial campaign had been successful and tenders were called for the building of St. George's Memorial Angli- can Church. The local price of gasoline was increased by one and a half cents a gallon to 41% cents. The IOOF held its annual parade to the Christian Church with Rev. E. T. Cotten, pastor of the church, preaching the sermon. District Deputy Grand Mas- ter J. T. George, of Port Hope, and several members of Cedar Lodge, Oshawa and Com- posite Lodge, Whitby, were guests of Mount Zion Lodge, No. 39, Brooklin. A feature of the meeting was a presentation of furniture articles te Mount Zion Lodge by four brothers, Alex Brown of Oshawa, R. H. Brown of Michigan, F. W. Brown of Toronto and George Brown of Brooklin. Ontario Potteries Company purchased the property on King street west occupied as a garage by J. M. and J. O. Reid Brothers. James Gibson was awarded the contract for carrying Osh- awa mail at $1200 a year. Town council decided to peti- tion the Post Office Depart- ment to provide a better mail service for Oshawa. The Ontario Regiment foot- ball team eliminated North Bay from the Connaught Cup competition by 3 to 1 and en- tered the semi-final round. The Chautauqua tent was pitched at Alexandra Park for a six-day stay in town. The 2ist annual reunion of the Trull family was held at Oshawa-on-the-Lake, Four gen- erations were in attendance, the oldest member being Casey Trull, aged 76. The Oshawa Board of Health raised objections to the type of plumbing being installed in the housing commission houses. J. L. Whattam -- represented both the Oshawa and the Port Hope Rotary Clubs at the an- nual convention of the Inter- national Association of Rotary Clubs held at Los Angeles, California. Customs receipts for the Port of Oshawa for the month of June totalled $288,516. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 7, 1962... The House of Commons voted 129 to 37 for a gov- ernment bill to. dismiss James Coyne as governor of the Bank of Canada one year ago today--in 1961. Mr. Coyne, who had become in- volved in idfferences with the government over mone- tary policies, resigned six days later, after the Sen- ate killed the government bill. 1937 -- The Sino-Japanese War began with a minor clash of Chinese and Japa- nese soldiers at the Marco Polo Bridge near Peking. 1754 King's College opened in New York City with eight students and one instructor and _ ultimately became Columbia Univers- « sity. system, and the opening of a third television channel to the BBC, the totally negative and destructive conclusions concern- ing Independent Television have been bitterly criticized. The most harsh criticism has not come from the independent companies, but from Conserva- tive members of parliament, in- cluding cabinet ministers, and, most important of all, from the Postmaster-General Regin- ald Bevins, head of the depart- ment responsible for radio and telvision. Mr. Bevins, facing a critical meeting of back - bench Tories, told them: "This report shows the BBC to be whiter than white." And he indicated that the government could not go along with the committee's ideas for the reconstruction of Independent Television. Some other way, he said, would have to be found. His remarks came after Tory members of parlia- ment denounced the report as blatant, even arrogant, preju- dice. UNDERHAND NATIONALIZATION Some of the Tories described the ITV proposals as underhand nationalization. The Labor regarding them, although it favors the recommendations re- garding the BBC. Already one group of Con- servative members has dubb- ed the report a bitter disap- pointment, and, in many ways, a waste of two years' work. Borrowing Fine Art By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)--Are you a good borrower? Borrowing in the average busi- ness office today has been raised to the level of a fine art. The general phildsophy is to lend and let lend, to borrow and let borrow. If you don't lend a fellow worker a paper clip to- day, he may refuse to let you borrow one from him tomorrow --when you need it most des- perately. Here are a few typical bor- rowers you may have noted in your own firm: Pompous Paul--"Let me have ten bucks now and it'll be well worth your while later," she says importantly. "I've got a big deal cooking with the boss and want to take him to lunch, and when I get him softened up I'll be sure to put in a good word for you." Later you find he needed the dough to make an alimony payment to his ex-wife. Phobic Phil--This is the com- pulsive borrower. He has to bor- row to be happy. He'd prefer to borrow the shirt off your back, but if yoy just lend him a last year's commuting timetable he'll go away content. HE'S GOT WOES Willie the Weeper -- It isn't your money he wants to borrow, it's your car. And if you lend it to him, he'll return it to you an hour later full of all his woes and the trouble he's been having with everybody from his girl to his landlady. Ambrose the Abstainer--He's trying to save dough by cutting down on his~ smoking. So he borrows half a pack of cigar- ettes a day from you. "In a way, I'm doing you a real fa- vor," he remarks lightly. "Now you're not smoking so much either." Roundabout Robert -- He be- gins by inquiring about your health, your views on mother- hood and atomic fallout. After a 45-minute buildup of your ego, he asks casually as he gets up to leave: "Oh, by the way, One of the most reasoned cri- " ticisms of the report comes the from Noel Stevenson, managi director of Scottish taevislon. Accusing the Pilkington Com- mittee of basing its judgments more on hearsay and the' opin- ions of individuals and minority groups ihan on actual study of the programs on the air, he said; "We had hoped for objective and accurate assessments of program patterns which would give us useful guidance for the future. But the assessments are neither objective nor always accurate; they are too full of generalizations. Bias against ITV and its motives is so ob- vious as to detract seriously from the value of what should have been a very valuable document." That 's a view which is quite generally expressed, and it will be taken into serious consider- ation by the government, which is not at all likely to accept the committee's recommenda- tions regarding changing the whole setup of independent tele- vision. ELECTION IN 1964 The view which I expressed a few weeks ago that the gov- ernment would not call a gen- eral election until the spring of 1964 is now generally accepted as being as close to accurate as it is possible to be with such forecasts. An election this year is out of the question. That would be suicidal 'or the gov- ernment in the present political mood of the country. The pos- sibility of Mr. Macmillan going to the country in 1963 is also being ruled out because he wants all the time possible to prove that his policies were right and to allaw them to pro- duce the results he desires. REASONS FOR DELAY Three factors are being men- tioned as having influenced Mr. Macmillan in delaying an ap- peal to the electorate until probably May of 1964. They are: This gives the Tories almost two years to make the come- back essential for victory. It will enable two budgets to be presented, both tax reducing to create noom conditions. And it will give ample time -- the best part of two parliamentary i -- for consideration of legislation on Britain's entry into the Common Market, which now seems to be taken for granted. Incidentally, the latest public opinion poll shows a sharp slump in Liberal support from the figure at which it stood at the time of the Orpington by- election. This is causing some conjecture as to whether this Liberal upsurge was merely a passing phase of the political scene. In its fifth annual report, RUSSIAN SEED ALTONA, Man. (CP)--About 500 pounds of a new imported variety of Russian sunflower seed will be tested in this area this year. A small test in 1961 at the Morden, Man., experi- mental farm indicated it is su- perior to the Canadian hybrid variety. could you let me have $3.87 un- til Friday? I need it to pay for my laundry." His Omnipotence -- The boss himself isn't after your wallet either. All he wants to borrow from each employee is about an hour from his personal day- dreams during working hours so that somehow the firm can get the job done. "Is that too much to ask?" he wails. which has just been published, European Common Mar- ket Commission indicates, politely but nevertheless firm. ly, that Britain should not ex- pect too many safeguards for Commonwealth trade if she joins the Common Market, From the time they made their first approaches, the re- port points out, Britain and other states which asked for membership emphasized that they accepted the Treaty of Rome in its entirety. "The Commission," the re- port says, 'considers that one of its prime responsibilities during the negotiations is to watch over the maintenance of the Community's rules, both those in the treaty and those in the regulations pursuant to the treaty, By adopting this firm stand on the whole Community system, the Commission be- lieves that it is acting in the interest not only of the com- munity as a whole, but. also of future members." : There speaks Prof. Walter Hallstein, chairman of the Commission, who has set his 'face firmly against any amend- ments to the Treaty of Rome or its regulations to make pro vision for any special interest, such as those of the Common wealth countries. MINERS CO-OPERATE From Scotland comes a brief item which points the way. to a sounder position in the coal industry of that country. Roslin Colliery, near Edinburgh, was running at so great a loss that the Coal Board decided it must be closed. But first, the posi- tion was explained in detail to the miners. Without any techni- cal changes at the colliery there was a remarkable improvement in output. The mine was saved. Commenting on this report, the Daily Express says: "Some managements are re- luctant to take the men into their confidence, Why? Their interests are the same, and from a real, trusting partner- ship can spring remarkable re- sults."
