RAVER Neem She Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1962--PAGE 6 Maybe It's Not Fair But Neither Is Death The Ontario Police Commission is considering another trial of unmarked police cars on provincial highways. At a commission meeting this week Judge Bruce Macdonald, chairman, said that while the public views un- marked cars with distaste, they have proved effective in other jurisdictions. He said: "It is a question of whether to play a sporting game with the public or take steps to get results." When unmarked cars were used on the Queen Elizabeth Way in 1957 there was a great outcry from en- raged motorists and some newspapers. The charge was that the police were using unfair methods and that un- marked police cars did not have the deterrent effect of marked cars. Well, now. Is there anything sport- ing or fair about the toll of death and injury on our highways? Is there anything fair about the driver who barges through traffic, forcing others to brake or take to the shoulder to avoid collision? Is there anything sporting about the motorist who ignores speed and safety laws? Of course not. And if the police think that the use of unmarked cars will help them make the highways safer, then by all means let them use unmarked cars. : It is true that a marked police car has a sobering effect on drivers. But once the police car is out of sight, the effect vanishes, There are simply not enough patrol cars to do the job of deterrence on all roads. But the unmarked cars can also have a deter- rent effect, particularly after a few offenders have been charged and their cases publicized. The driver who is tempted to speed but suspects that there may be an unmarked police car behind or in front of him is not likely to yield to the temptation. What Is Christianity? By THE REV. A. WOOLCOCK, St. Mark's, Oshawa We are all a bundle of needs.and wants. Certain wants of our person- ality are found in the realm of pleasure, family and home, work, re- creation and so on. All these are legitimate and necessary for our well being. On the other hand, there are deeper needs our souls call out for, unless we have stifled the cry. A great man, asked the secret of his life, replied: "I have a Friend." Each one of us cannot find that satisfying completion of life until we too have become friends of God, and can truly say: What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear, what a privilege to earry everything to God in prayer." Here is the basic answer to our ques- tion and the only starting point. Christianity is no "Book religion". Professor Fairbairn says: "One thing is certain, that Christ's teaching alone could not have created Chris- tianity . . . the programme of the religion lies in the Person of the Founder, rather than in His words; in what He was and is, rather than what He said... Christianity is Christ." Secondly, Christianity is a life. Jesus said: "I am come that you may have life and have it to the full." "God hath given unto us eternal life and this life is in His Son." "He that hath the Son hath life and he that hath nat the Son hath not life." Across the chasm of the centuries, He makes the greatest of all demands -- He asks for the human heart. Mil- lions of people down the years have responded and millions today would die for Him. Thirdly, Christianity is a glorious hope. Study the lives of great people and you always find they were people of a great undying hope. Whether in the field of medical research, explora- tion, the Arts, and all that lifts up humanity to dignity. We think of the future in various ways, and try to plan for ourselves and our loved ones in the face'of all the uncertain tomorrows. But--when our days are come to an end as a tale that is told, and we have passed on to, where? St. Paul said: "To die-- is to depart and be at home with Christ." In the meantime, we have fellow- ship with Christ; fellowship one with another; fellowship in our common worship, and in every good work to do His will on earth even as it is done in heaven. Therefore, we shall not be strangers to God after our work is done, and having served Him in our generation shall not be ashamed to meet Him face to face. Such is the true essence and meaning of our lives; any other must bring desola- tion and a lonely world. Caouette's Performance We have been reading a description or the oratorical style of Real Caou- ette, deputy leader of the Social Credit party. Apparently it is a style that has a lot of appeal in Quebec. In cooler-blooded Ontario, however, it is likely that he would rate more highly as an entertainer than as a politician; Ontario people like to watch theatri- cal performers but do not vote for them. Mr. Caouette could draw crowds in Ontario but would get more laughs than votes. Anyhow, this is what Ottawa cor- respondent Richard Jackson wrote after watching Mr. Caouette in action: "When he goes to work on the plat- form it's in a flying spray of perspi- ration. It flies out in a cascade of droplets in a semi-circle, tracing a five-foot arc in front of him. "He fuels up on water, half a dozen glasses at a time, but when he is She Oshawa Fines T. L.

Ne ., "TAXPAYERS The FATHERS TION "Wd aa CLASSICS OF CANADIAN ART WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Wise Spending Subject Of Needed Instruction KITCHENER RECORD -- A penny saved is a penny earned. That old prcverb needs dusting off and seemingly it also needs more stress these days when economy is almost a forgotten word in government and some family circles. Wise spending is a means of saving. The Vancouver Province touches on this subject when it notes that schools and universi- ties do a good job of teaching young people how to make money -- but no one teaches them how to spend it. Children are raised in a com- plex world of credit cards, charge accounts, annual clos- ing-out sales and leap-frogging interest rates. They must deal with these things -- but how many understand them? A difference of one percen- tage point in interest charges on a $15,000 home mortgage, for example, comes to more than $3,500 over 25 years. This could be a deciding factor in whether a child gets a university educa- tion. Says the Vancouver paper: "We don't go along |with Tom- my Douglas' platform theory that all consumers are sheep being shorn by chuckling cor- poration chiefs and that these poor victims need legislation to guide and protect them at every turn. "But a basic course to teach youngsters how to compute fi- nance charges, prepare a bud- get and avoid the pitfalls of too much easy credit and too-gen- erous loans would surely answer a vital need." A survey in the United States last year showed a record num- ber of bancruptcies, and nine of every 10 bankrupts were con- sumers, not businessmen. The old '"'let the buyer be- ware" adage can be fairly ap- plied only when the consumer is fully armed with informa- tion. SARNIA OBSERVER: One United States concern which manufactures machine tools, textile machinery, construction equipment and other materials for heavy industry spends a lot of money in advertising. None of the advertisements we have read have anything to say about machine tools, textile ma- chinery or construction equip- ment. What appears to concern the company is not .o much the product it manufactures and sells as the need to maintain an economy which will make it pos- sible to keep its employees at work and its customers busy enough to keep them buying. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 21, 1962... Sir Francis Drake at- tacked the Spanish Armada 374 years ago today--in 1588. Philip II of Spain had sent 132 ships, 33,000 sol- diers and crews to attack England. Storms at sea and the attacks of Drake's ships destroyed the Spanish fleet between July 21 and 29. Only 50 ships were able to return to Spain. 1836--The first railway in Canada was opened, run- ning from 'La Prairie te St. Jean, Quebec. 1960--Mrs. Sirimavo Ban- daranaike was sworn in as prime minister of Ceylon, the first woman to head the government of a modern » etate. This is not expressed in terms so bold. For instance it makes its point in a recent advertise- ment by introducing its theme by saying "It used to be thought that only children were foolish enough to think you could eat your cake and have it too. Yet millions in Ameri¢a, old enough to know better, seem to cling to that dangerous idea." Adults cannot always be blamed for this mistaken as- sumption. They have been sub- jected to a brainwashing to that effect from politicians, crooked stock promoters, confidence men and sweepstake ticket sell- ers most of their lives. BRANTFORD EXPOSITOR: Real Caouette, deputy leader of the Social Credit Party an- nounces that he wouldn't accept a post in the cabinet if Prime Minister Diefenbaker offered him one. Well, in the first place, the prime minister isn't likely to, and in the second it would be better manners on the part of Mr. Caouette or anyone else to wait for the invitation before refusing it: MONTREAL STAR: There are some who claim that Calgarians are a bit mad all the time, in a high, wide and handsome sort of way. At this time of year there is no doubt at all about their euphoric insanity. Other western towns on both sides of the border have their rodeos. Only Calgary has the Stampede. Oalgary is geographically an isolated city, a long way from nowhere, but that does not stop people from pouring into it, drawn by the unique flavor of a show whicn has been watched by royalty and which is 50 years old this year. The Stampede is well named. Tt has the headlong quality of cattle running wild. Few events on earth can match its chuck- wagon race for sheer hell-for- leatherness, or its roping and bronc-riding for vigor With all that and with the splendor of the mountains on the horizon, who can blame Cal- garians for going a little ber- serk? LONDON FREE PRESS: Two carpenters in New Jersey would please the spirit of Diogenes, who wandered about looking for an honest man. They came across a hoard of $2,400,000 in small, negotiable bills in an abandoned car and promptly called the cops. The money had obviously been in the trunk of the car for years; who would have known if the pair had car- ried the fortune away and spent it a few hundred dollars at a time? Perhaps it was the sheer magnitude of their find that -led them to disclose it. In any case, how many of us would have done the same? PETERBORO' EXAMINER: Of the 40,000,000 schoo' children in the United States, 24,000,000 do not take part in any vigorous physical exercise each day and 10,000,000 are not capable of passing a simple physical fit- ness test. These figures come from a gloomy report (are re- ports ever cheerful?) given to President Kennedy last month by his council on youth fitness. Speaking at Hyannis Port, Mass., the president described the figures as shocking and frightening. He urged all U.S. schools to adopt physical fit- ness programs before the end of next year and called on ail school boards, teachers and par- ents to support his appeal. KINGSTON WHIG - STAND.

BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Oshawa's Racing Pigeon Club was reorganized after a lapse of six years, with W. M. Miller as secretary-treasurer and Ira Travell as racing secretary. C. P. Davis of Oshawa Lodge No. 47, Knights of Pythias, was elected Grand Chancellor of Ontario at the 50th annual con- vention of Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias. Miss E. Holmes, principal of Centre Street School, was se- lected one of a party of Ontario teachers to tour Northern On- tario. New potatoes made their first appearance on the Oshawa mar- ket and sold at 70 cents a peck. Lawson Clifford, MP, left for Saskatoon to act as judge of Hereford cattle at the Saska- toon Fair. A total of 140 out of 160 can- didates were successful in pass- ing the High School Entrance examinations. John T. Crawford was elected Noble Grand of Corinthian Lodge, No. 61, IOOF. . The building and property at the corner of King and Celina streets, occupied by J. M. Ash- by as a tailoring shop; was purchased by Disney Funeral Service. ; A start was made on a ship- ping room addition to the plant of the Feldspar Glass Company on Ritson road north. Those who attended the laying of the cornerstone of McLaugh- lin Maternity Wing at the Osh- awa General Hospital included George W. McLaughlin, Crown Attorney Col. Farewell, Dr. T. W. G. McKay, T. H, Richard- son, warden of Ontario County, R. S. McLaughlin, Dr. F. L. Henry and Mrs. Robert Mc- Laughlin, who laid the corner- stone. Owing to severe winter kill- ing of raspberry bushes in the local district, gardeners report- ed a light crop. Seventy-five children of the Fresh Air Home at Heyden- shore Park, Whitby, were guests of Whitby Composite Lodge at a sports program fol- lowed with a supper. The Whit- by Citizens'. Band rendered a program of music for the occa- sion. Mrs. Grierson and Miss Frankish reached the finals at the Oshawa Golf Club for the Mrs. T. E. Houston trophy. In the play for the F. W. Cowan trophy, G. M. Jacobs, D. B. Carlyle, S. Irwin and H. E. Smith reached the semi-finals. UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Signs Pointing To Bad Of Restrictive Period By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- There are some encouraging signs that the Government's economic policy is climbing out of the trough, and that the long dark night of Conservative penance is nearly over. These signs are not to be found in anything that has actually happened as yet. They have been given in statements made by Prime Minister Mac- millan and other ministers. All of them have given the dis- tinct impression that the period of restrictions and restraint has about run its course, and that more popular Government poli- cies are shortly to be an- nounced. Thé economic picture is cer- tainly much' brighter than it was a year ago. Exports have improved appreciably, produc- tivity in industry is going up, and living costs are once again being stabilized. Major indus- trial wage claims are being settled on terms which come well within the income policy, and the danger of disastrous industrial strikes has been dis- sipated for the present at least. PENSION INCREASES One of the significant moves of the government is seen in the coming action of the gov- ernment in increasing the #n- sions of retired long «erv.tig officers and other ranks of the armed services and their wid- ows. There has also been more than a hint that improvements in the pension rates of retired public services, such as civil servants, teachers, police, fire- men and local government offi- cers are also in prospect. Following almost immediate- ly on the increase made in the National Assistance allowances, this assurance can be accepted as an indication that the pres- sure on Government financing is being eased, and there will soon be other appreciable measures of relaxation as the next economic phase comes into effect. MP REPRIMANDED It was from a Conservative MP and not, a Labor member o, that the most outspoken de- mand came for the resignation of Labor Minister John Hare after he had charged that the Commonwealth countries were behaving like children over the Common Market. Anthony Fell, Tory MP for Yarmouth, told the Commons that many people were "deeply shocked" by Mr. Hare's failure to resign after that statement. He fired a peremptory question at the Prime Minister as to why there had been no resigna- tion, but he got nowhere--other than to the office of the Chief Government Whip, Martin Red- mayne. : The interview was a_ brief one, lasting only three minutes or so, but Mr. Fell was in a fur- ious mood when he left the Chief Whip's office. It was ob- vious that he had been sharply reprimanded for his temerity in demanding Mr. Hare's resig- nation after the latter's apology had been gracefully accepted by the other members of the House of Commons. GLOOM FOR GAITSKELL Hugh Gaitskell is having a rough time of it wi th the left- wing Socialists of his Labor Party. He is faced with a powerful motion signed by some 64 members of his own party demanding more nation- alization of indust ry and finance in Britain. It must have produced in Mr. Gaitskell a feeling of the utmost gloom, because he knows better than anyone else that one sure way of losing the next election is to go before the electors on a program of all-out national- ization, as the supporters of the motion, including Anthony YOUR HEALTH Arthritis Cause Of Pain In Neck By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I would ap- preciate information on cervical arthritis --M.R.P. This is arthritis of the cervical vertibrae--some or all of the seven bones in the neck. Usually it is the degenerative or thickening type that is char- acterized by a slow change and not, fortunately, the fulminat- ing, crippling, rheumatoid arth- ritis. The edges of the bone thicken gradually, resulting in stiffness and, quite important, sometimes exerting pressure on nerves. This can create certain symp- toms which the patient may not connect with the cause, Pain in the neck, or pain when the. neck is turned far, is ob- vious. There may also be spasm of the neck muscles--a wry or stiff neck. Or at times pain may be reflected into the arms or shoulders even though the neck itself is comfortable. There may be giddiness on bending the head backward. There may, also be a sense of tightening or numbness in the fingers, and the patient won- ders, "what's wrong with my hands?" when the problem is really in the neck. This particular arthritis seems to be more noticeable in the early hours of the morning. Changing. position in bed, or raising or lowering pillow levels often helps. The trouble as a rule disappears after you get up in the morning. Other than simple pain re- lievers, the principal treatment is neck traction, a simple psy- siotherapy procedure that can be done at home. A head halter, rigged with a counterweight to exert a moderate pulling action, draws the neck bones apart a little. ; Short periods of this traction often give quite lasting relief, whereas all the wrappings, salve or other things applied to the outside of the neck will have little if any affect at all. Traction requires your doc- tor's help in the beginning to get the sort of halter and weight re- quired, but then you can do it yourself. Remember, however, that' violent manipulation of the neck can exaggerate your dis- tress and, at times, even be dan- gerous, Just be gentle. Dear Dr. Molner: In the en- closed article it says that two parents with type O blood can have.a child with type A blood. I always thought type O was a PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Ho, hum, two more African territories that haven't any notion of what to do with it have been granted independ- ence.

Here is a correct list of the blood groups possible in children from various combinations of the parents' types: O plus O must be O in the child. O plus A can be O or A. A plus A can be O O plus B can be O B plus B can be O A plus B can be any type-- O,.A, B or AB. O plus AB can be A or B. Other possible combinations (A plus AB, B plus AB, or AB plus AB) can produce children of any type except O--there is, they may be A, B or AB. or A, or B. or B t: Greenwood and Emmanuel Shinwell are demanding. At last year's annual confer. ence of the Labor Party, Mr. Gaitskell won an outstanding victory for the official policy of going slow on any suggestion further nationalization in Britain. He had labored patient- ly to head off any moves in this direction. His attitude on this subject is well known to the 64 supporters of the Green- wood - Shinwell motion. And it must now seem clear to him that a large section of his own party would 'rather 'lose the coming general election than win it with him still leader. Behind the motion is left- wing displeasure: at a recent assurance given by Mr. Gait- sekl] that the Imperial Chemi- cal Industries would not be nationalized if a Labor Govern- ment came into power. That stirred them into action to dem- onstrate their disapproval of the Gaitskell policy. And in spite of their knowledge that they were doing serious dam- age to their party's election prospects, 64 Labor MP's have put their signature to the motion. WARNING TO MINERS Lord Robens, Chairman of the National Coal Board, did not pull his punches when he was addressing a meeting of miners' union leaders held at Skegness. He told them frank- ly that they were living in "Cloud Cuckooland" if they be- lieved that competition from oil is only an imaginary bogey used to frighten miners. This constituted a direct rebuke to a Nottinghamshire Miners' Chief who had used this argu- ment at a conference only a few days before. To prove how serious is the menace of oil competition, Lord Robens revealed that he is engaged in an argument with a firm which now uses more than 1,250,000 tons of coal a year. The firm has been ex- perimenting with an oil boiler for 12 months, and the Coal Board was in grave danger of losing that order to oil. If there has to be another general increase in coal prices, sales will go down, said Lord Robens--a warning which was taken by some of the miners delegates to infer that he was advising them not to be too grasping in their demands, MAY RECALL MP'S Around Whitehall there is a strong feeling that Prime Minister Macmillan will recall members of Parliament during the long summer holiday re- cess for a special sitting of Parliament to discuss the Com- mon Market. It is possible that this may occur in the second half of September, immediate- ly after the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference. The feeling is based on the likelihood that Common Mar- ket negotiations in Brussels may drag on until the middle of August, so that the Govern- ment would not be able to give an outline of the possible mem- bership terms before the House adjourns for holidays on August QUEEN'S PARK Radical Opinions On Redistribution By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Should the Tor- onto area have only three or more members here? This proposal has been put forward by a prominent man. And it is not a complete silly one. Redistribution could -- and should--be one of our big issues in coming months. A commission is studying the question now. Its report is to be made by the next session, And then the seats in the House are to be redivided. This will probably be the key redistribution of the century: Urban growth has meant great imbalance in the numeri- cal size of some ridings, and pressures from the cities for stronger representation. There have been other pres- sures--including that for redis- tribution by a civilian authority. The commission's study prom- ises'to be a deep one. CITY MEMBERS The great basic issue of the almost certain controversy will be urban versus rural represen- tation. This is a continuing matter of disoute, of course. But this winter it should come to a head. And the dispute could grow very bitter. Largely through the influence of the big-city press, there is a trend today to feel that the cities should have more mem- ers Against this, rural areas and probably the more independent political observers will be think- ing that, if anything, rural representation should be in- creased. COMMUNITY BASIS? One consideration that may or may. not enter into the debate is the one put forward above (and by a man close to this question). It would be so radical today to suggest drastically cutting down city representation, that probably no one would dare seriously advocate it. Nevertheless there is a lot of sense in it -- and if big - city editorial writers considered it there might be more balance to their approach. Behind it is this thinking: The bulk of the work of fhe provincial government today is with 'communities' not with "individuals". The great bulk of provincial endeavor centers on education, highways, financial assistance and other matters that con- cern municipalities or "com- munities'. So why should we set our base of representation on the number of persons in a riding? This is over-simplication, of course. There does have to be some balance based on popula- tion--a "voice of the people". But this factor of the "com- munity" is an important one in weighing redistribution. 135 SIMCOE ST.
