Ge a a he Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Businessmen Start Clean-up In Hamilton The Hamilton Spectator recently paid tribute to a group of business- men in their City who have decided to do something to correct at least a part of the downtown area, which is badly run down. The Spectator, editorially, says that these businessmen have displayed good citizenship and expresses the thought the Hamilton City Council will lend every support to the project. Says the paper: "We are glad that the scarred and ugly appearance of much of the city's downtown area has inspired a group of businessmen to do something about it. Their efforts deserve the support of everyone. "For preliminary study they have chosen the stretch of King Street be- tween Mary and Wellington. This stretch could become an ideal demon- stration piece, an example of what a little money and a lot of artistic thought can accomplish in turning a commonplace appearance into some- thing attractive and eye-catching. "While this planning is in progress, we should like to think that city coun- cil is not sitting down on such Jaurels as it possesses, but has also seen the light and is doing some planning of its own. "There are plenty of obvious down- town eye-sores which can be changed with little expenditure. Even in an election year nothing but credit would redound to those who work for their removal. "Over the years with unwearying persistence we have recommended floral baskets and window boxes as an inexpensive way of making our downtown more attractive and soften- ing harsh lines. With the same per- sistence we have attacked the continu- ed presence of ugly traffic islands, examples of which can be seen in black and white striped concrete at John and King, Catharine and King and York and James. "If these blots on the downtown landscape possess any charm it is only that which custom has bestowed. on them. Their replacement with some- thing more pleasing and imaginative and equally safe is long overdue. A strip of verdure, with perhaps a few dwarf evergreens or plants running down the centre of King from John to Catharine, would be infinitely more appealing than the present drab stretch of macadam. "In the meantime, all hail to those businessmen who have decided to im- prove their environment. They will serve their city and bring benefit to themselves." Air Travel Safety Should we revert to travel by train, bus or boat because some airliners crash with a heavy loss of life, as they have on several occasions re- cently? The question is asked by the Corn- wall Standard-Freeholder, which goes on to say editorially: "In a recent editorial, the New York Times discusses this subject in relation to the 130 men and women who died in the crash at Orly field near Paris. They were on route to the United States on a routine flight. Yet all may have felt, as most of the rest of us have done, that slight moment of uneasiness when the plane is al- . most at the end of its runway and should lift and take to the air. This plane did not; and of those who were on board only two survived. "Will this catastrophe keep other persons from flying,' asks the New York writer? 'It will not. It should not. The planes have been rolling at Orly today, at Idlewild and at other fields just as they always do; and where one fell, hundreds went up without incident. 'Each crash teaches something. It is not likely that two planes will ever again collide over Staten Island, as. they did in 1960, or over the Grand Canyon, as they did in 1956. And it is increasingly unlikely as the years go by that engine trouble will bring a civilian plane down anywhere. We fly on the wings of the morning and they do not often fail us. 'But suppose there is a little risk in flying. There is a little risk in rail- roading, too. There is a terrible risk in driving automobiles. In 1960, for example, when 326 passengers on our domestic scheduled airlines were kill- ed, motor vehicles took nearly 25,000 passengers lives, In spite of these fa- talities people keep on driving auto- mobiles and riding in them, the motor industry keeps making them, and the country keeps frantically building roads on which to operate them. 'The fight for safety in the air must continue, as must also the fight for safety on the ground. But when we come to the end of the runway, let us not be disturbed," the Times advises. "The chances are infinitely in our favor that we shall take off, that the wonders of the world will unroll beneath us and that we shall come safely to our destination. Let us do honor to the dead. Let us take off our hats when a city is in mourning. But then let us fasten our seat belts and ride the unpaved and beautiful highways of the sky.'" Let's All Play Fair Let's play fair with the tourists in this exchange business and extend them energy courtesy so that they will leave with happy memories and want to come back, says the Kit- chener-Waterloo Record on the sub- ject editorially. The devalued dollar is expected to increase greatly the inflow of tourists to Canada and this will aid our finan- cial position, says the paper.

The attraction afforded by the devalued dollar pre- sents an opportunity to correct the imbalance. But the opportunity will be spoiled if the visitors are short changed in any dealings. "Canadian tourist officials are al- ready concerned over reports that some Canadian shops and restaurants, service stations and other businesses haven't been giving tourists the right exchange on U.S. dollars. "No doubt some feel that when money matters were in reverse and the Canadian dollar was higher than its American counterpart, Canadians travelling south of the border got a humiliating reception when they ask- ed that the exchange rate be observ- ed in getting their dollar's worth. But, while retaliation under the changed circumstances may be sweet, it would be poor business to sour tourists. Two. wrongs never make a right in any case." Bible Thought If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. -- II. Corinthians 5:17. Christ in the heart controls man in the world. JACK AND THE BEANSTALK QUEEN'S PARK Home Products Seen Answer By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO -- If we are to keep our standard of living in Ontario we will have to manu- facture at home and manufac- ture competitively. This is becoming very clear now to at least some people who are leading the way in the province. Also that if we are to keep our good economic health we will have to do this largely on our own resources. Ever since the war we have been holding out a molasses- coated invitation to foreign cap- ital. We have wanted to grow... desperately desired to grow. And we have welcomed -- in fact gone down on our knees to the outside money which would bring about this growth, But this hypnotism of growth has now left us in a sorry state. We don't control our own house. NEED AUSTERITY And our biggest job in belt- tightening and austerity will be to get control of it again. And this will be done principally in manufacturing. Now that export sales have become so important to us one key fact has been forcefully driven home. We have realized all along that U.S. capital controlled a large share of our industry. Also that in some cases the parent companies across the line weren't anxious for the Ontario plants to do any export business, And that this to some extent held back our foreign trade. But not until this trade be- came critical have we realized how important this restraint is. Nobody, quite frankly, knows just how prevalent it is. It is known that it is wide- spread and important. And steps will be taken to find out where it exists. And them attempts will be made to find out ways and means of stopping it. NOT EASY And this will not be by any means easy. For a while, in fact, we will probably have to sit back and watch while U.S. control con- tinues to grow. : For some time we are going to badly need U.S. dollars in Canada, and we will have to take them even if this means YOUR HEALTH Boric Acid As An Eye-wash By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. "Dear Dr. Molner: I have heard one or two doctors re- mark that boracic acid should not be used as an eyewash; I have always used it that way. Please give me your opinion.-- A. Be" Zoric acid (boracic acid is another name for exactly the same substance) is not harm- less. It has feeble properties as an antiseptic; it also has toxic (poisonous) properties. Again these are not powerful as com- pared with some of the virulent poisons, but they exist. I see no objection to the oc- casional use of boric acid as an eyewash, but under ordinary circumstances the eyes don't need washing or rinsing. That's what tears are for. The normal watering of our eyes. If, on occasion, there is some chronic infection of the eyelids, this deserves accurate diagnosis and the use of one of the more modern and more effective drugs, which act more specifi- cally and more safely. Boric acid, in such cases, is simply a hangover from an earlier time, perhaps no more than a decade or two ago, when we didn't have anything better. Now we do. ; As: for centinued, routine use of a boric acid eyewash, let me ask one question: "Why?" We use an autiseptic for a cut or a scratch, but we certainly don't use an antiseptic when we DON'T have a wound. It won't ward off an injury. The same is true of the eyes; an infection needs treatment, but there's no blessed reason for using medi- cation of any kind when nothing is wrong. Further, a great many mild (or sometimes 'not so mild) eye or eyelid irritations aren't basi- cally infections. Our skins get rashes, we sneeze,.or cough, or itch, because of allergy. The eyes, too, being sensitive, can react to allergies. For this trouble antiseptics can't help j except, of course, if infection follows protracted allergi¢ in- flammation. In. short, boric acid doesn't prevent eye troubles; itcan't prevent or treat allergies. It can treat infections, but other things are more e ffective, and won't be toxic. Not many years ago we didn't realize that boric acid, which is one of the substances which can be absorbed through the skin, can be poisonous. We know it now. While borated powders (with a trace of boric acid) can be all right for baby pow- ders, we don't approve straight boric acid for babies any more. Too much is absorbed through the skin. Boric acid poisoning is (or used to be) more common than we knew. Some hospitals have elimi- nated boric acid from their pharmacies for this reason. In my opinion it is best to elimi- nate it from all family medicine chests. I'm no fanatic against boric acid, but I can't see much reason for it and I can see some reasons against it, so I prefer using something better if any- thing is needed. "Dear Dr. Moljner: What is pyelonephritis? What are the chances of it coming back?-- Mrs. C. D." : An infection of the outlet of the kidney. Causative factors in- clude pregnancy, diabetes, kink- ing of the ureter, and others. If the underlying cause isn't found and corrected, or if the correct antibiotic is not used to quell the infection, the chances of recurrence are high. It's a stub- born ailment to treat, but it is well worth the time and effort to do a thorough job. "Dear Dr. Molner: What could cause a watery and some- times mucous discharge from the rectum? I am a man in the 40's and have noticed this off and on for several years. It seems to increase. --W. F." It's a symptom that should be investigated thoroughly. Among the possibilities are colitis, fis- sure, allergy. the buying up of more of our industry. And it will hardly be possible to take any bold steps soon which- would break down the U.S. domination of controlled companies (U.K. capital also dominates some companies; but the influence is not so widespread.) But eventually this will have to come. Our more astute peo- ple here know this now. BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO During 1941-42, the sale of War Savings Stamps in Oshawa pub- lic schools amounted to $17,017. Major George Earle and Mrs. Earle took over the command of the local Corps of the Salvation Army from Major F. H. Wat. kin who was transferred to To- ronto. W. J. Sargant was installed as OTTAWA REPORT th Parliament Shows New Faces . By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Our 25th Parlia- ment, expected to assemble for the first time in September, will see more than one hundred members who did not sit in the last parliament. A total of 91 members of our 24th parliament were defeated when seeking re-election last month. Some. 15 others retired from public life and did not seek re-election. There were also two vacancies caused by the death of the sitting member. In place of these former MPs who will not return to Ottawa this fall, we will see 95 new faces and 13 faces belonging to men who had sat in earlier Parliaments and are now mak- ing a successful come-back in public life. Not very many of those de- feated MPs will qualify for the Parliamentary pension. An MP must sit in three different Par- liaments to qualify for a pen- sion; this represents about 12 years in Parliament. under nor- mal conditions. But extreme and unusual cir- cumstances could permit an MP to qualify after three years. However his pension in those conditions would be very small indeed. -PARAGRAPHICAI. WISDOM Whether at poker or in the stock market, the person who can afford to gamble doesn't need to win. In these days and times far more unheard of things than ever before are being heard of. "A bat cruises at 10 miles an hour. -- Science note. The bat, however, flies at a top speed of 3.7 times that fast when coming out of you-know-where. Lawmakers have a droll sense of humor. They declare the hus- band the head of the house, and give the pedestrian the right of way. Another thing that greatly re- tards the progress of man is that his anatomical design so aptly fits him for sitting down. A man who is a gentleman only when he's with a lady is no gentleman. TODAY IN HISTORY Worshipful Master of L Lodge, AF and AM, No 139, at the annual ceremony conducted by Wor. Bro, H. A. Suddard, assisted by several Past Mas- ters of Lebanon Lodge. Oshawa and Ontario County co-operated in making Army Week Celebration a huge suc- cess, in honor of the armed forces. A fire of incendiary origin at Holy: Cross Church, Simcoe street south, was soon brough under control by firefighters, when workmen working next door discovered four separate fires in the building. Citizens of Oshawa and district paid tribute to the armed forces at a service in Memorial Park. The sermon was delivered by Rev. D. M. Rose, rector of St, George's Anglican Church, "The Oshawa Regimental and Civie Band played the accompani- ments to the hymns sung at the service. Twelve persons registered at the Harvest Help Committee headquarters here offering their services to farmers n the dis- trict who needed help to harvest their crops. Rev. Dr. H. B. Bingham, sec. retary-treasurer for the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quee bec, addressed' the Oshawa Ki- wanis Club, where he gave an illustrated talk, '"'There'll always Be an England", Six houses were among the 61 building permits granted by the city engineer during June at an estimated cost of $59,050. Mrs. Archer Brown, Simcoe street north, had in her posses- . ion a silver-plated shovel used by her grandmother, Mrs. Joseph Keeler, who turned the sod for the Murray Canal in 1882, The canal joins the western end of Bay of Quinte to Lake Ontario. Ninety recruits were sent from Oshawa to various active army units during the last two weeks of June. SQUARE BALLOONS SEATTLE (CP)--Win Stites has introduced square balloons at the Seattle World's Fair. He brought three of the shimmere ing pink, silver and blue bal- loons, product of a year's work. They are made of aluminized plastic and filled with helium. Stites, a commercial illustra- tor, says "I just got tired of round balloons." WEEPING MEMORIAL WANGANUI, N.Z. (CP)--The slab of granite under the Book of Remembrance at the Wan- ganui War Memorial is weep- ing. Moisture has been show- ing on the face of the stone since it was installed, and the city engineer believes conden- sation is the reason. By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 10, 1962... Sir Robert Borden, suffer- ing from ill health aggra- vated by the burden of of- fice during the First World War, resigned as prime min- ister 42 years ago today--in 1920--and was succeeded by Arthur Meighen. Relieved of the heavy responsibilities, Borden quickly recovered and lived for another 17 years. 1951--Korean War cease- fire talks opened at Kae- song. 1947--The engagement of Princess Elizabeth and Philip was announced by Buckingham Palace. An MP who has fulfilled the qualification by sitting in three different Parliaments may draw an annual pension at the rate of $180 for each session during which he was an MP. This pension has an upper limit of $3,000 a year. It is based on the contributory principle, with al! MPs paying into the pension fund every year. . Among the defeated MPs were 51 Conservatives, two Lib- erals and one N.D.P. who had sat only in one Parliament. There were also 21 Conserva- tives and two Liberals who had sat in two parliaments. None of those qualify for the: pension. At the other end of the scale, the "dean" of the House of Commons, with the longest rec- ord of uninterrupted member- ship, was defeated. This was' Privy Councillor R. H. "Bob" McGregor, who had represented York East since 1926. With his record of membership through 44 sessions of Parliament, he is comfortably qualified for the full pension of $3,000 per year. Other defeated MPs entitled to the full pension are three Conservatives, former Cabinet Minister J. M. Macdonnell, Sar- nia's J. W. Murphy, and for- mer parliamentary assistant J. Charlton; and three Liberals, Maurice Bourget, of Levis, and M. Boivin and C. Richard-- three Quebec members all de- feated by the Social Credit surge. GETS FULL PENSION Frank Lennard and Harry White had represented Ontario ridings in the Conservative cause for 28 and 23 sessions respectively; they both will re- ceive the full pension. So will two Quebec Liberals, A. Dumas and J. Ratelle, veterans of 18 sessions. These former MPs all refrained from seeking re- election. i. Then there are some defeated MPs who will receive pensions at scales less than the maxi- mum, because they had not sat in the 17 sessions required for full pension rights. These in- clude W. J. Browne, Solicitor- General from Ni whose pension will be | $2,340; former Speaker R, ener, Margaret Aitken, former chief Conservative whip John Pallett, and Hardy Smail. These Ontario Tories will all qualify for pensions of around $1,980. Former postmaster- general Bill Hamilton, from Montreal, also falls in this group. Finally that outstanding Toronto representative, John Hamilton, who was beaten by ice-hockey star Kelly, will draw . $1,800. Of the remaining retired MPs, three will draw small pensions and eight, having sat in only one or two Parliaments, are not entitled to any pension at all. REPORT FROM U.K. Big UK. Influx Of Pakistanis By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special LOndon (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times PETERBOROUGH, England -- The mass influx of Pakista- nis into the United Kingdom has presented to civic and other authorities many social and economic problems, but a new problem has arisen in Peterborough, one with which the municipal authorities are having some difficulty in cop- ing. It is a difficult problem because it has a deeply religi- ous' angle, and it has already involved the Bishop of Peter- borough. Rev. Dr. Cyril Eastaugh, the Bishop of Peterborough, has willy - nilly been dragged into a heated argument about the direction in which 20 graves in one of the city's cemeteries should point. The argument has become heated because it involves a fixed religious prin- ciple of the Pakistanis who are now living in the community in substantial numbers. MOSLEM PRACTICE The problem seems simple, but the city council's burial committee has made it diffi- cult. Pakistanis living in Peter- borough have made an applica~ tion to reserve 20 graves in one of the city's cemeteries. The argument has arisen over the direction in which these graves should point. It is the practice of all Moslem graves to be laid out pointing in a north and south direction. That is one of the principles of their religion. The Christian alignment of graves, however, is from east to west, and that is where the conflict has arisen. The city's burial committee has upset the Pakistani com- munity within the city by in- sisting that the Moslem graves must point from east to west, like all the other graves in the cemetery. BISHOP INTERVENS Dr. Cyril. Eastaugh, Bishop of Peterborough, has _inter- vened in the situation on behalf of the Pakistanis. He has writ- ten to the mayor pointing out that "very important religious issues" are involved in this matter. The mayor, as a result of his letter, has asked the city's burial committee to re- consider the whole question. The committee chairman, however, is not inclined to change the decision which was made previously. "If we allow this sort of thing," he said, we just don't know where we are." But he has agreed to have the "committee meet again to give the matter fur- ther consideration, The Mayor, Councillor George Govey, says that the let- ter he received from the Bis- hop of Peterborough was mark- ed "personal and confidential." He explained: "It raises very important religious issues. There is not much I can do except ask the burial committee to reconsider its former decision. "The committee has previous- ly decided that all graves in the cemetery should face east and west, but it was entirely a question of planning and space saving. No religious con- siderations of any kind entered into the decision." 29 sreat whiskies in one brand Years ago Adams distilled 29 great whiskies, each with its own distinctive characteristics, and then aged them in special oak casks, Now, Adams has married these 29 rare whiskies to create the superb flavour of Adams Private Stock.
