| She Oshawa Cines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Case Of Anna Pavlova Points Out A Lesson If you don't think that people in Russia are pretty much the same as the people in the West just study the case of Anna Pavlova, the Ukrainian miss. Her case proves something more significant, too -- and that is that there are liberalizing forces at work in Russia (which is most encoura- ging.) To get to the point of our story -- Miss Pavlova was threatened with expulsion from the local Young ( om- munist League because its prim of fi- cials decided her mode of dancing the Charleston was disgusting and im- prudent. When she took her case the Young Communist newspaper, it up- held her with these words: "It. is time leaders who want to subject us to uniformity, even to the length of a dance step, disappeared. It is easy to laugh at such behavior, especially if we choose to forget that we too have our own conformist pres- aure, in various forms. The question is: "How successfully do we fight them?" Says the Vancouver Sun editor- ially, on the same subject: "Dr, Herbert Muller, the American author-historian, gave an encoura- to ging account of the situation In the U.S., recently. He recited the various sources of conformist pressure. These include currently the John Birch Society. But another source is some big corporations. "There are, besides, in Canada as elsewhere, various leagues and socie- ties with an urge to improve the rest of us after their own recipe. "The John Birch Society, Dr. Muller observed, lacks faith in free institu- tions. Other pressure groups simply lack faith in other people's ability to regulate their own lives. "But Dr. Muller, though he says democracy is a risky business, is convinced the American people is not losing its liberties. The good sense of the majority prevails. "We are convinced this is so in Canada, too. One reason for it is that rising standards of living and broaden- ing education make it difficult for the narrow-minded to impose their views on the majority. "Dr. Muller believes the same liberalizing forces are at work in Russia today, though that country still remains a police state. "Anna Pavlova's case, we. repeat, is a small thing, but maybe it is straw that shows the way the wind is blowing over the steppes." Notes On Forest Fires Now is the time of year when all ef us who intend to spend some of our summer spare hours in the woods should be reminded not to start forest fires, either accidentally or on pur- pose, says the Hamilton Spectator. Already Newfoundland is having its annual forest fire problems, and it won't be long before we'll be hear- ing about similar resources-destroy- ing holocausts in the other heavily- timbered provinces where tourists make hay while the sun shines, the Spectator continues: Lightning does, of course, cause many of these fires, but man's down- right carelessness causes some of them. Careless smokers, sloppy camp- ers, and pathological troublemakers are constant threats to our forests, and if you don't think vou know any of these people, you haven't been out doors very much lately. It is our opinion, says the paper, that if the sensible tourist kept a sharp lookout for the insensible ones, there'd be far fewer forest fires. A step in the right direction would be to report anyone you see throwing a lighted cigarette out a car window the next time you're seeking solace in the wilds, it adds. Brasilia Pigeon Talk Many Canadians will be amazed, amused too, no doubt,, at the latest move to beautify Brasilia, the dra- matic new capital of Brazil. This is the recent order for 1,000 pigeons "to make the new City a nicer place to live in," The Financial Post, Toronto, ad- mits that there are many pigeon lovers in the world, but it also asks some pointed questions as to whether this is a one-sided question. Says the Financial Post: "To a pigeon fancier, let it be granted, nothing may he more pleas- Monsters In The Hamilton Spectator had some interesting editorial comments to make recently regarding 'monsters in the space age." Said the Spectator: "With the search for the unknown reaching ever farther into space and time, it is comforting to know that there remain more familiar myster- ies, more readily recognized by the human imagination, and there are still those who have the time, the She Oshawa Times T.

But if all the statues of Queen Victoria across this country could speak from beneath their disfiguring debris, Brazil would get an earful about certain highly unattractive habits to which pigeons are prone.

Liquor To Cost More By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- If our policy on liquor prices turns out to be what it appears it. will be at time of writing then this is one field in which we are not doing our best to encourage home manufacture The chairman of 'the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, Alan Grossman, says: we will be in- creasing the sales prices of im- ported wines and liquors But we won't be boosting them nearly as much as some other jurisdictions notably BC. Which, of course, is good news for the drinkers, But bad news for the Ontario vinters and distillers For with every cent added to the imported brands presum- ably more drinkers will turn to the home product If the truth were known Mr. Grossman and the government probably don't dare politically to boost booze prices more than the absolute minimum. REPRESENTS VOTERS For with liquor now return ing some $80,000,000 a year to the provincial coffers any straight greedy increase would be resented by the drinking public and it represents a great share of the voting pub- lic In ordinary times this would mean extra consideration. But with an election within a year it means the utmost caution is to be taken YOUR HEALTH Latest Views On Cancer By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. There's reason to think that people are acquiring a more objective view of cancer, and realizing that it isn't necessarily as distressingly painful as has been assumed, One reader now asks me to "list the kinds of cancer that are painful and those that are not. I had always thought - that all were extremely painful, but have recently been informed of eancer victims who died after a comparatively short and pain- less period of this disease."' The 'kind cancer' isn't necessarily the important thing; rather, the location is: of intense significance If the where of nvades dreas nerves - exist, there will be pain, Or, by sheer size, the cancer may press against, otherwise strain areas in which we can: feel pain On the other other tive parts cancer sensory or hand, there are areas which are insensi- to pain. There are also of the body in which cysts, tumors or other masses can grow to considerable size without doing great harm or causing reat discom- fort--from time to time we read of the removal of tumors that weigh quite a few pounds You not, in itself, painful.

He boosted the price on im- ported liquor 25 per cent across the board. This represents one of the biggest grabs in liquor history. And if he gets away with it, his voters must be dumb in- deed The actual increase in the cost of liquor. to the provinces represents about 3 per cent of the retail sales price. ONLY 99 CENTS The factory price landed of one very popular brand of Scotch, for instance, is 99 cents a bottle. In Ontario we have sold this for $5.49. The new 15 per cent excise tax is on the 99 cents, so that the new cost is about 15 cents a bottle more. But Mr. Bennett's boost of 25 per cent on the retail price would return an additional $1.35. Meaning a new increase of $1.20 new money for the trea- sury We certainly won't anything like that. Actually, despite the large revenues represented, we never have been as hungry for liquor revenues as the other prov- inces For yars Ontgrio's liquor prices have been the lowest in Canada And they will stay that way. attempt should know that certain things can be done to take the terror out of the sheer word '"'cancer." First, of course, is the knowl- edge that cases discovered early can be cured. Second, radiation, surgery and now drugs can be used in many instances to reduce the size of a cancer, at least tem- porarily, adding months and even years of normal, comfort- able life. Third, depending on location of a cancer, simple drugs many times are all that are needed to keep pain or discomfort within modest limits. More and more we are hearing of patients who remain comfortable and active in their business affairs right up to within a few days of the end. This is.a long step forward. Fourth, I think it well worth remembering that cancers do not grow at a predictable rate. Some cancers,, especially in older people, progress so slowly that the patient ultimately dies of an entirely unrelated cause, such as heart disease, without the cancer ever amounting to a real problem In many cases cancer will be a terribly painful terminal dis- ease. But in many other cases it will not Dear Dr. Molner: What causes cold sores and how can I prevent them? They have bothered me all my _life.-- 4. ¥. F.

As families, we have been overtaxed and extravagant. The excess taxation by the post-war Liberal governments siphoned off $2,500,000,000 more than was necessary from individuals and corporations between 1947 and At the same time the American way of life, as por- trayed in Hollywood films and U.S. magazines flooding Canada lured us into extravagant at- tempts to keep up with the American Joneses. This overtaxation and over- spending removed the income, surplus to our necessities, which we might otherwise have saved, and invested in the development of Canadian resources. Our various governments have similarly been extrava- gant, even by the lavish stand- ards of revenue raised by ex- orbitant overtaxation. This has not only enforced continued high taxes; it has also brought into question the soundness of our money supply. And as a nation, we now have long been spending far more on foreign goods, foreign travel and other foreign services than we have been able to earn by our sales in the same fields. A prudent nation should not year after year show a deficit in trade and in "invisible" im- ports, such as tourism and the Servicing of international in- debtedness. But we balanced our interna- tional payments each year by admitting huge waves of for- eign capital. This annual supply of cash solved our immediate international liability and en- abled us to.pay for the luxuries we were importing; but it ob- viously merely aggravated our long-term problem. At the same time we needed this capital to finance our development; the tragedy. for Canada was that overtaxation and extravagance prevented us from. creating much of this capital for our- selves. REPORT FROM THE U.K. Plan Detention Centre in U.K. By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- With the coming into effect of the Common. wealth Immigration Act, with its new and irksome restric- tions on immigrants from all Communwealth . countries, the government has instituted new systems of control to speed up A the clearance of newcomers to the country. A staff of priority clerks has been installed at the London Airport so that clear- ances are being made smooth- ly and expeditiously. David Renton, Home Office minister of state, who has been in charge of this operation, has intimated that the number of immigration officials at this airport has been increased to 140 -- a rise of 21 per cent. He volunteered the information that because of the new Act com- ing into force, about 160,000 Commonwealth residents would have to be checked through the airport in addition to the usual flow of foreigners. NO BIG PROBLEMS Asked what steps had been taken to ensure smooth run- ning and "'fair play" treatment to Commonwealth passengers who have to undergo the new controls, and that includes Ca nadians, Mr. Renton said he expected no big problems. He gave an assurance that no prospective Commonwealth immigrants would be refused on the instructions of a single immigration officer. A superior officer would be called in to give a ruling on all doubtful cases. A Commonwealth immi- grant facing a no-admission threat is being given every op- portunity to state his case and appeal against the decision to bar him from entering Brit- ain. For those who are turned back and refused admission, the ministry of aviation' has formulated emergency plans for part of the old North Terminal at the airport to be GOLD CREST used as a detention centre. Ac- commodation has been pro- vided there for from 100 to 140 people. While London Airport has functioned smoothly since the new restrictions came into ef- fect, British courts are now using their new powers of recommending deportation of convicted persons under the et. At the Assizes Court at Staf- ford, Mr. Justice Stable told Jamaica, that he would recom- mend his deportation at the termination of his sentence of 30 months imprisonment for robbery with violence. A Bow Street magistrate in London has recommended the deportatoin of Lance Andrew Clark, from British Guiana, who was jailed for six months for stealing letters. containing money. And a magistrate at Luton has asked for the deportation to Eire of Peter Pender after a case. of child neglect. This 's one provision of the new Act which the courts are likely to enforce strictly when the circumstances warrant a deportation order. Our borrowings from foreign countries obligated us to pay the annual service charges on these loans and investments. A country can only pay such for-\ . @ign indebtedness by ing more from its foreign trade an tourism than it spends. But in 1953, we took a wrong turning. In that year we started to show a deficit 'even in our foreign trade, buying from other countries more goods than we were selling to them. This was especially true of our trade with the United States. : SIGNALS WERE VISIBLE In August of that year, I wrote: "As a nation we are not doing well in our foreign trade. We are living beyond our means. Our profit of $170,000,000 on foreign trade in the first half of Jast year has been turned into a deficit of $201,000,000 in the same period of this year. Peo- ple. in Ottawa are beginning to ask if, in our extravagant spending spree in the U.S, we are treading again the path) which we trod in the immediat post-war years.

We still faced th ultimate necessity of earning bj our exports and by our tourism}, an annual surplus with which we could pay the yearly interest and repayments on that bor- rowed money. At some future stage, although we ignored this in those years when we were drugged into euphoria by tail- fins, we would have to trim our living standards to enable us to meet our debts.
