She Oshawa Cines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario ' T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Ontario Finally Takes Action On Handicrafts It's good news that the Ontario government is to sponsor an exhibi- tion of made-in-Ontario tourist souvenirs and handicraft next Spring. In making the announcement, Premier Robarts said the province will also hold a competition, open to both pro- fessional and amateur artists and designers, to encourage the produc- tion of new souvenirs characteristic of the province. This is the first practical step taken to provide tourists with honest souvenirs of Ontario. This province does as much tourist business as all the other provinces put together, but it has been cursed with some of the shoddiest souvenirs and handicrafts available to any bemused visitors any- where -- and in the great majority of cases, the gimcrack gadgets. were manufactured in some other country. That Ontario can produce home- made souvenirs of excellent quality and design has been proved in var- ious parts of the province by indivi- duals who have turned to the mater- ials readily available -- the quartzes and other rocks, the variety of woods, metals and other raw materials. Mr. Robarts rightly pointed out that "tourists visiting Ontario want souvenirs which are both made in, and characteristic of, our province. We have individuals and companies capable of making such souvenirs. We certainly have a million-dollar de- mand for them. If in this way, we can help bring together innovator, manu- facturer and merchandiser, we will provide greater impetus both to domestic employment and to our rapidly expanding tourist industry." Economics Minister Macaulay des- cribed the lack of Ontario-made souvenirs as a "major fabrication gap" in our multi-million-dollar in- dustry. So it is. The wonder is' that nothing has been done about it until now. Certainly newspapers have bien complaining about it long enough, Breeding, Killing Bees In much of Ontario we are still pumping our chemical sprays over gardens, fields, woods and streams with little regard for the effect on wild life. We kill our weeds and our insect pests all right, but also kill insects that work in our favor, virds that do an enormous amount of good by. eating insects and weed seeds, and fish that provide food and sport. In some parts of Ontario, for example, we have virtually eliminated the bee with the result that farmers must pay beekeepers to transport their charges to the fields to ensure polli- nation. One of these days we'll be present- ed with the bill for our ignorant dis- turbance of natural balances -- and a whopping bill it will be. We pray that we can pay it, and start a clean account. Meanwhile, in Alberta and Mani- toba, researchers of the federal de- partment of agriculture are trying to breed bumblebees, to provide a needed increase in the numbers of the in- sects required for the pollination of alfalfa and clover crops. The research- ers say: To ensure good seed yields, alfalfa should be grown in areas where there is a large number of leaf-cutter bees and bumblebees. Because the number of wild bees is limited, the fields should not be of more than 25 acres. A larger field spreads the bees too thinly, decreasing chances of good pollination. Bumblebees, incidentally, are the experts at pollination. Most bees do not bother. with red clover out of sheer frustration -- their tongues are not long enough to reach the nectar. But six species of bumblebees can cope with the red clover, and three species with alfalfa, Although other types of bees get nectar from alfalfa, little pollination results, because they have an aversion to being hit on the head by the stigma which snaps up when the floret is tripped by the bee. The tripping is necessary for pollina- tion, and the bumblers, being: sturdy, apparently don't mind the raps on the noggin. So in one place we poison the bees and in another place we breed them. Makes sense, doesn't it? Control Of Population One of the most disturbing factors in the struggle to improve living con- ditions in improverished nations is the runaway population growth in most of those nations. Recently the Centre of Interna- tional Growth, a non-profit research agency, estimated that if human be- ings keep on multiplying as they have since the end of World War II the world population will increase to six billion in the next 40 years (from the present three billion) and to 12 bil- lion in the 40 years thereafter. Eugene Black, president of the World Bank, wrote in a foreword to the report: "The present surging increase in population ... threatens directly the success of . .. the international deve- lopment effort which is attempting to provide tolerable living standards to that two-third of mankind which is now always in want."

USA, one', industrial capacity, only to find that the increase has been proportionately less than the growth in population, so that the total situation grows worse instead of better. The obvious answer for such areas is population control, and some of the countries have begun to move in that direction. India started a program of education in birth control a while ago; results so far seem to have been discouraging, but at least the effort is being made and continued. Communist China has reversed its policy of 'encouraging population growth. It has started a birth control program, and now is beginning a campaign to discourage early mar- riages and child bearing. The ages of. 23 to 27 for women and 25 to 29 for men are described as ideal for mar- riage. Egypt's Nasser has done a dramatic turnabout. The New York Times reports from Cairo that whereas Nasser formerly frowned on birth control, he now says: "A steady in- crease in the population will imply poverty . . . I consider it the duty of the state to advise the, people on methods of birth control." | Bible Thought The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations. -- IL. Peter 2:9.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: I am tak- ing medication for a high chol- esterol level, but nothing seems to lower it. I am on a diet. I would like to know more about cholesterol and what is meant by vegetable oils and butterfat. --MRS. A. H. Draw up a chair and let's talk it over. You aren't fhe only one who would like to know more about cholesterol. So would I. So would the research experts who are struggling to unravel the facts. This much we know: Choles- terol will be formed in the blood no matter what we eat. We need it. It's natural. We strongly suspect, however, that too much cholesterol and other fatty substances may con- tribute to a thickening or par- tial clogging of our blood ves- sels. We also know--with qualifica- tions--that some foods are more readily converted to cholesterol and similar materials than are others. Therefore we think it is prob- ably wise to curtail to some ex- tent the excessive use of these "high cholesterol" foods. We also have observed that regular exercise usually re- duces the cholesterol level. Neither medication nor diet is @ sure means of lowering the cholesterol level. We don't know why. Obviously there are fac- tors we haven't yet solved. Sometimes the level goes down, then for no reason we can dis- cover, creeps upward again. In view. of the foregoing, the best rule for the present is simply this: Let's not any of us develop a phobia over choles- terol. Let's not be afraid of cholesterol, which is a useful and necessary material in our bodies. But let's not be foolhardy, either. Let's go a bit easier on the "high cholesterol" foods, and substitute those which are lower. This is not as difficult as it pehaps sounds. We are talking REPORT FROM U.K. Immigrants Pose School Problem By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- One of the major problems which has been thrust upon the communities of the United Kingdom by the large in- flux of immigrants from other countries of: the Commonwealth is that of the education of the children of their families. This is particularly true of colored immigrants from _ countries where English is not the major language of the people. The problem of providing for the education of these children is greatly aggravated by the fact that many of them do not understand or speak English. The ministry of education adds that the English of the remain- der is so poor that communica- tion is difficult and instruction in the basic skills greatly ham- pered. In the annual report of the ministry, it is stated that in areas in which immigrants tend to concentrate there are often more colored children than English in the classes in the schools. Two of the key cities in which this has become a problem are London and Birmingham. They are right in the thick of it. There are many instances in which the classes are almost en- tirely made up of colored chil- dren. In Birmingham, it is_ seti- mated that in five years time, eight of every 10 children in some of the schools will be colored. The report makes this comment on the situation. CAN BE REFRESHING "The presence in small num- bers of such visitors can con- tribute something very refresh- ing and often very welcome. Where, however, the proportion of such children is high, impor- tant problems have been raised and these have not yet been en- tirely solved." Some other interesting points are brought out in the minis- try's report. For instance, there were 6,960,000 children in the primary and secondary schools of England and Wales last year, an increase of 37,226 over the number ii the previous year. There were 269,000 full-time teachers, 27,400 more than in 1960, In addition, there are 22,- 100 teaching on a_ part-time basis. The problem of too large classes still persists. One in five of the children under 11 years of age are still being taught in over-size classes of 40 or more. In the senior schools, six out of every 10 children are in classes of 30 or more. Over 3,500,000 children, more than half of the school popula- tion, had dinner in school dur- ing the noon recess. Eight out of every 10 children have milk in school. Approximately 25,000 students entered the universities, and the most noteworthy fact is that 'all but 500 of them received state aid in the form of uni- versity grants and scholarships. about fats for the most part, or "fatty acids." The "saturated" fatty acids appear to be the culprits. These are, generally speaking, animal fats--the fat from meat, and butterfat. Cut down on these, and sub- stitute what we call the "ply- unsaturated fatty acids." These, in general, are fish oils and veg- etable oils, corn oil being a com- mon one, and safflower oil a more publicized one. The difference between "'sat- urated" and "unsaturated" is a matter of chemistry, the attach- ment of hydrogen atoms to the carbon. The easy rule which is accur- ate enough for our purposes is to cut down on fats which are solid at room temperature, and substitute fats (or oils) which are liquid at room temperature. Both are fats; both contain calories, It's the chemical dif- ference, as related to choles- terol, that we care about. And remember, too, that this whole cholesterol matter is not setled yet, not thoroughly un- dersood. As more is learned, we may discover other things to do. For the time being, the above rule of thumb answers the demands for being sensible about things. Dear Dr. Molner: What would cause a cyst of the gland in the lower eyelid?--A. D. W. It's called a chalazion. One of the little glands becomes clogged--and the result is a cyst. That is, the material se- creted no longer can get out, so the gland swells. Dear Dr, Molner: What is the cause of color blindness and can it ever be cured? My son is color blind--MRS, C. 0. The cause is unknown, and nothing can be done about it. Fortunately most color blind people can distinguish between colors by the varying intensities of "grayness" in them. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 21, 1962...

Fifty-eight donors attended the Oshawa Blood Donor Clin- ic, Russians' Rocket Feat Spotlights New Worry By RALPH DIGHTON Associated Press Staff Writer Russia's feat of rocketing two mamned satellites into close or- bits points up a serious prob- lem that lies ahead for both Soviet and U.S. scientists. That problem is brining sat- ellites -- whizzing around the earth at 18,000 miles an hour-- into actual physical contact with each other. Until such a technique is perfected, say some U.S, space experts, last week's achievement is incomplete. 'Physical contact between sat- ellites, these experts say, is per- haps the most dangerous part of the journey to the moon. First, there is the hazard of impact at excessive speed dur- ing complicated maneouvres in space. Second, is the peril of an elec- trical discharge from one satel- lite to the other--a lightning- like bolt of several thousands volts, capable of destroying one or both vehicles. A US. space scientist twho cannot be named points out that Russia has not claimed her two satellites actually touched and adds: "she undoubtedly would if they had because this man- oeuvre, called docking, is one of the milestones in the race to the moon." The United States has 'already Strike Could Halt Concerts By CHRISTOPHER POWELL LONDON (Reuters) -- Brit- ain's concert season seems likely to open this September in unhappy silence. Musicians in Scotalnd and in several English provincial cities have already given three months' notice of their intention to go on strike for better pay and working conditions. They are almost certain to be joined by members of the big London symphony orchestras, The musicians' main demands are for higher pay and greater security of employment. They also want benefits such as paid vacations, pensions and _sick- ness pay which, they claim, would put them on a more level footing with workers and profes- sional people in other fields. The present minimum rates paid a concert to London mem- bers -- who are mostly free. lances--are $11.20, $9.50, and $8.40 respectively for P rinci- pals, sub-principals and others, including payment for rehears- als. "Others" make up about half the number of players in each of the four London or- chestras., Hardie Ratcliffe, secretary of the Musician's Union, says Lon- don is one of the few capital cities in the world where, out- side the broadcasting service, not a single symphony orches- tra gives contracts guarantee- ing employment for more than a few weeks ahead. In provincial centres and Scotland, where members are normally on contract, present minimum rates are $42 a week, with $47.60 for sub - principals and $56 for principals. The London musicians have not yet decided precisely what fees and improved conditions they will demand. But the union has agreed with the Orchestral Employers' Association on an increase in minimum salaries for provincial and Scottish Sym- phony Orchestra members. ruled out direct flight to the moon. The Nova booster which could take men and their re- turn vehicle to the moon non- stop will not be ready in time to meet President Kennedy's "within this decade" deadline. Russia apparently has ruled out direct flight, too, because she is already practicing rendezvous in orbit. Current U.S. plans call for launching a single big rocket into orbit around the moon and sending men down from it in a smailer vehicle called a "bug." The "bug" would return. the men to the big rocket and an up. per stage of the big rocket then would separate and bring the men home. Sometime next year Gemini spacecraft, similar to Mercury capsules but large enough for two men, will start practicing for the delicate, critical task of bringing two spacecraft into Physical contact. Sometime in 1964 or 1965 Gem- inis will try to lock onto Agena satellites high in space. OPEN NEW ERA Successful rendezvous and docking will open a new era. Only in this way can giant space stations, needed as take- off points for manned planetary jaunts, he assembled in orbit. Only in this way can astronauts be rescued from disabled craft. One problem is what to do about the anticipated powerful electrical discharge from the target vehicle to the chase craft. Air force. scientists have learned that objects in orbit tend to pick up an electrical charge. The longer the vehicle has been in orbit, the stronger the charge. Measurements show some satellites have built up po- tentials of se ve ral thousand volts. The best solutions advanced to date: Rockte a copper wire from the chaser to the target at long range, so the electrical charge in the target can leak slowly to the chaser; from power sources on board the chaser, build up its electrical charge to equal that of the tar- get. OTTAWA REPORT Island Minister Setting Record By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Hon. Angus Mac- Lean, our 48-year-old minister of fisheries, will shortly estab- lish a record among Prince Ed- ward Islanders for long service as a departmental minister in the federal cabinet. Prince Edward Island has had a checkered and scant record as our cinderella province as far as cabinet representation goes, It has been fobbed off with minimum recognition for na- tive-born politicians, despite the key role its leaders among the Fathers of Confederation played in creating our country, which was largely achieved at the his- toric meeting at the island's lovely capital, Charlottetown. Although Liberal party lead- ers have valued the island's pol- iticians at so little worth, they have never hesitated to use its constituencies as a public con- venience when they could find no hospitable political perch elsewhere. CUCKOOS IN THE NEST That greatest political waif of all, the late Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, was_ born, raised and domiciled in Ontario, then he lived in the U.S.A. But he often sought political haven in constituencies, and even in provinces, other than his own. Before he thus roosted in Prince Albert, Sask., one of his sev- eral such way-stations was that constituency of convenience, Prince, P.E.I. Later, in 1940, that same rid- ing gave a political perch to an- other displacéd Liberal minis- ter, Hon. J. L. Ralston, a Nova Scotian who had previously won election at Shelburne-Yarmouth, N.S. Meanwhile in 1935 yet another emergency byelection was staged in Queens, P.E.I., to seat another Libera] minister, Hon. Charles A. Dunning. He had been born in England; had made his home in Saskatche- wan, and had represented Re- gina in Parliament until--like an equally well - known politician more recently--he was rejected by Reginans at the polls. QUEEN'S PARK Boosts Charlotte For Legislature By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The writer, at least, would like to see Char- lotte Whitton a member of the legislature. For years there has been the question of whether Ottawa's turbulent mayor and general municipal disturber might get a provincial nomination. Premier Frost used to run away and hide from this. The possibility of having Miss Whit- ton in his caucus, let alone in his cabinet--and with his lip- service to women's rights he might have been forced to take her in -- was something to frighten much more _harder- hearted men than he. He could assume that it just would not be his caucus or his cabinet any more. SAY NO? Your reporter also shrank from the: possibility of having Miss Whitton in our ranks here. She is such a disturber and as a woman she doesn't know how to say "no"--or to admit she is wrong. We who have the human weakness of wanting to get used to peace shun people such as this. But no, Charlotte. We were wrong. Come join us. We need you. Ontario needs you. Miss Whitton recently ap- peared before the select com- mittee on municipal affairs, And it was a revealation to watch her: Most of the members on this committee have had some mu- nicipal experience--as reeves, controllers, aldermen and soli- citors. ° Yet you could take the accum. ulated knowledge in the field of the whole committee, multiply it by five and it would not add up to half the knowledge of Ot- tawa's mayor. And. we need people such as this in our public affairs. We need people with know- ledge and the experienice of us- ing their minds to make sound judgements. Ontario, as you may or may not know, is backward in its leg. islation in a great many fields. It is surprising how often one finds that even much smaller provinces such as Newfoundland will be much more advanced in various areas. And this is principally be- cause we do-not have the cus- tom of making sound decisions. If you look into Ontario ad- ministration you will find that the great bulk of our decisions are not made on. what should be done, but on who will be hurt and to make them as less hurt- ful as possible. Miss Whitton doesn't really care who she hurts--and we could use some of her breed.

JOVITE' TEL, 425-2771 Among native-born resident islanders who have been ap- pointed to the federal cabinet, first was Conservative Sir James Pope, a former premier, who was minister of fisheries from. 1878 to 1882 in the admin- istration of the storied Sir John A. Macdonald. His oft-famed Name was recently re-echoed when his great, great nephew, Major Harry Pope, contested a Calgary riding this summer as an NDP candidate. LONG OFFICE TENURE Then in 1896 the famous Sir Louis Davies, already MP for Queens for nine years, was ap- pointed minister of fisheries in Sir Wilfrid Laurier's cabinet. Honors were showered upon this former premier. In 1897 he was created a Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George, an honor which Canadian states- men, unlike their British and Australian and New Zealand counterparts, may not now ac- cept from their monarch. In 1901 he was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada, where 17 years later he became chief justice. His five-year-and-73-day span stands as the longest tenure of departmental cabinet office by any P.E.I. MP., native or for- eign. One of the eight Macdonalds from various provinces who have sat in our federal cabinet was Hon, John A. Macdonald, who represented Kings from 1925 to 1935. Briefly in 1926, and then from 1930 to 1935 he was minister without portfolio in Conservative cabinets, before being appointed to the Senate. His old seat was later won by his namesake son, who was succeeded by his widow, Mar- garet, the present MP. Hon. Cyrus MacMillan was P.E.I.'s_ strangest minister. A professor of English at McGill University in Montreal, he was minister of fisheries for 53 days in 1930,, namely from 15 days after the dissolution of Parlia- ment until nine days after the electoral defeat of the govern- ment of which he was such a brief member lacking a seat in Parliament. And now Hon. Angus Mac- Lean, who is only P.E.I.'s third native born resident to admin- ister a government department as a minister seated in the House of Commons, will set up a record on Sept. 3, to become the longest-serving such minis- ter.
