| Bhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Commonwealth Leaders Should Examine Europe -- It is natural for the Commonwealth prime ministers to fight for the trade interests of their own countries. But they are also expected to be states- men, and nothing coming out of the Commonwealth conference suggests 'that they are displaying any states- manship at all. They seem to be wholly unaware of what is happening in Europe while they talk. Just before the Commonwealth prime ministers gathered in London, France's de Gaulle made a tour of West Germany. He and West Ger- many's Adenauer went to great lengths to stress the common interests and friendship of the two countries. The two leaders reiterated their July statement that they want Britain in the Common Market, but not on spe- cial terms, and they are not willing to wait for that before starting to organize European political unity -- and political unity to France and Ger- many mean a Europe directed by those two countries. President re Gaulle wants the pat- tern for Europe's political future set before Britain has any voice in its shaping. Opposed to him are the Benelux countries, who rightly fear a strengthening Paris-Bonn axis. They look to Britain to bring a mature parliamentary tradition to the coun- cils of Europe; France and Germany have no distinguished parliamentary tradition, and lean strongly towards "strong man" government. Earlier, de Gaulle told a group of West German army officers that the armies of West Germany and France must have an "organic" tie; this is essential to "the union of our two ountries" and would form the nuc- leus of a larger European union. This was interpreted as a plea for West German aid in the development of a French nuclear striking foree -- and West Germany is barred by treaty from having nuclear weapons of its own. An integrated French-German force, with French nuclear weapons on call, would hardly be the sort of European defence force desired by the rest of the West. The political implications of the 'Common Market are more serious than the economic ones. The Com- monwealth prime ministers should recognise this. Manitoba's 'Test Law' Other provincial governments should give close attention to the experience of Manitoba with its new law that requires merchants to write in on erédit contracts the amount and rate of interest that the buyer pay. The bill stipulates that contracts must show a cash selling price as well as interest charges -- the price ad- vertised, or needed to buy the article if no time payments were involved. The contracts must also list amounts for insurance, specify the type of in- surance, and show the costs of repos- 'session or any delinquency charges that may be involved. The bill makes no exceptions for types of businesses. Automobile sales contracts, for example, will have to show both the amount of interest charged and the way the rate is cal- culated. It includes stores which have operated continuous deferred pay- ment plans, where new items may be added to an old balance. These stores will not have -to show, on monthly statements, the amount and rate of interest being charged. The bill does exempt purchases of less than $100, and dealings between manufacturers, distributors, whole- salers and retailers -- businessmen who should know all about interest charges. It is the sort of bill that Senator David Croll has introduced several times at Ottawa, only to have it talk- ed out. He has obtained much public and newspaper support, but his fellow legislators, it seems, do not think it possible or desirable to "legislate: against stupidity." The Manitoba legislators were told too, that they were trying to legislate protection of the buying public against its own stupidity. But they agreed, and right- ly, that a person is not necessarily stupid because he cannot unravel a sales contract while being distracted by a sales pitch. The Manitoba | measure sounds worthwhile. Ontario 'should watch it in operation, with a view to preparing similar legislation. Glasscos Paper Work There are 629 pages in the unabrid- ged, unexpurgated first report of the Glassco Commission on Government Organization. It is a volume that sells for six dollars, and over a thousand copies have been sold already. But it is only the first of five such re- ports, which prompt the Ottawa Journal to coment: "Volume I of the Glassco Royal Commission's report is such a mas- sive tome ... that the revelation of four more volumes all to follow be- fore the end of the year is almost too much for an Ottawa mind to comprehend. Down at the Commission office they insist not only that the four new volumes will be published soon but point out that an abridged version of Volume I (228 pages selling at $1) goes on the market today. They point out too with some pride that 1,000 copies of the first report have already been sold. She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My doctor tells me my womb is turned, but says it is nothing to worry, about--that this sometimes hap- pens after the birth of several children. Will this prevent pregnancy? Will the womb return to norma position by itself?7--MRS. C} M. The uterus, or womb, isa pear-shaped organ which nor mally leans slightly forward, and is suspended in this posi- tion by tissue. Sometimes these suspending ligaments are stretched, or even may be actually torn. The uterus then may flop backward and thus be tipped in the wrong position. As you have been correctly told, this is nothing to worry about. It usually does no harm. If, in occasional cases, the displacement or tipping is ex- treme, there can be rectal or urinary distress (because of ssure from the misplaced uterus). If pregnancy does not occur, and the tipping is ex- treme and regarded as a pos- sible interfering factor, then the REPORT FROM U.K. Passengers Plan To Buy Railroad By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--Dr. Richard Beech- ing, chairman of the British Transport Commission, has of- fered to sell a disused railway line to the people who used to travel on it daily before it was closed last October. This is a single-track line, four miles long, running from Westerham to Dunton Green. It had been in existence for 80 years before it was closed nearly a year ago, and it used to serve Sir Win- son Churchill's country home at Chertwell. In response to an inquiry from a group of former trav- ellers on this line, Dr. Beech- ing has put a price of $90,000 on the line, with its stations, roll- ing stock, railway tracks, land and buildings. At this price it is a rare bargain. FORM ASSOCIATION The prospective purchasers, determined to have their for- mer railway service restored, have organized themselves into the Western Branch Railway Passengers' Association. It made the offer to the British Transport Commission to buy the railway for the $90,000 price, and to operate it for the benefit of the community it serves. It is confident that it can run the line at a_ profit, although the BTC lost money on it when it was under its control. The British Transport Com- mission has notified the asso- ciations of the acceptance of: the $90,000 offer, subject to a number of conditions. One of these is that the association should run a train service which will enable the British Transport Commission to ° dis- continue an extra bus service it has operated since the railway line was closed last October. For this bus service, the BTC has to pay the London Trans- port Executive $26,100 a year. MUST BE SATISFIED Both the ministry of trans- port. and the Transport Users Consultative Committee would have to be satisfied that 'the train service was sufficient to meet the needs of the public before the extra bus service would be withdrawn. The four miles of railway line would provide goods and passenger service from Westerham to Dunton Green #ation, where passengers and freight would transfer to the regular Southern Region trains of the BTC. William Gray, chairman of the passengers' association, is very optimistic regarding the venture. He said: "The line is in a very good state of repair and if all goes according to plan, we hope to have a railway service operat- ing again by next spring. Be- sides $90,000 to buy the line, we shall also need another $30,000 to equip it and get it into running order. A limited company will have to be form- ed, but I do not think we shall have any trouble raising the money. One anonymous backer has already promised us about $90,000, and many of our mem- bers are also willing to invest money in the venture. We ex- spect that running the line will cost us about $27,000 a year, and we expect receipts of over $33,000." Besides a diesel commuter service of 12 to 15 trains a day in each direction, the associa- tion hopes to attract more than 60,000 tourists and villagers by running vintage and steam trains at the weekends. uterus can be restored to its original position by surgery. This isn't very often neces- sary, but it is not a cause for alarm in any event. It is a rela- tively simple procedure. When physicians advise that women, in convalescence after childbirth, lie on the stomach or side, it is to help the uterus re- turn to its normal position in case the ligaments have been stretched. The uterus, once tipped, is not China to complete its present period of "adjustment and con- solidation" and embark on an- other 'great leap forward?" This question draws different answers from diplo- mats and other foreigners in Peking today. Toward the end of my two- year stay in Communist China, there was evidence that the au- thorities were taking action to solve their agricultural and food problems before preparing for a return to an industrial build- up. Communist officials have de- _Clared, publicly and privately, to diplomats here that the cur. rent economic difficulties are only temporay, and that the upsurge will start again before long. The third five-year plan is due to begin in 1963, but no pro. gram has yet been published. Some diplomatic observers say it might be five to 15. years 'ore China can restore her many fo: large! mal manure and it will be some time before e' chemical fertilizer is PBisvas og to replace pe the pigs killed off in recent years, In spite of greatly increased production of tractors, it will ood get time ned -- to make up for a great shortage of draught animals.

A map prepared by Petroleum Information Bureau (Australia) from government data indicates there are few likely areas left for late-coming prospectors. Companies that might like to share the quest for Australia's oil will need to join other firms already doing survey and ex- ploration work or those which are "'in oil' in a big way merely on the paper used for their per- mits. Latest from overseas is Ca- nadian-Australian Oil and .Gas Limited, linked with Australian Oil and Gas Corporation and a bsidiary of Bailey Selburn Oil likely to return to normal posi- tion by itself. In many cases, however, a pessary has been used to move the neck of the womb and thus coax the organ to assume a more forward Position. Dear Dr. Molner: My voice is extremely high-pitched for a young man of my age, 18. My vocal cords have been examined and have no growths on them. I do not believe this is heredi- tary as all my male relatives have:.degp -voices. I wouldn't bother you'if this weren't ex- tremely important to me. I am ine Pag co-operate in any way. Of course it's important to you. In time your voice may get deeper naturally; age at which it deepens can vary. If you are unusually thin, this can have an effect, too. I can offer two more ideas: First, professional voice train- ing unquestionable will help some, Second, the personal factor you worried about has no effect on the voice--but worry, and hence nervous tension, can do so. So do the best you can with these ideas, and then relax. Dear Dr. Molner: I am in my early teens and my skin and hair get extremely oily. I us- ually wash my hair every three days, except my mother won't let me during my menstrual pe- riod. Is it an old wives' tale that 'if I do, I will get varicose veins?--P .P, Yes, it's a fable without foun- dation, that. mothers (and aunts and neighbors) have been foist- ing on girls for generations. Washing the hair, or entire body at that time does no harm what- soever. Dear Dr. Molner: Following a cold, I've had feeling in the back of my mouth as though I had eaten peppery food. Have = a 4 idea what it might be? It could be an aftermath of the virus that caused the cold. It could be a side effect of anti- biotics, if you had any. BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO J. G. McGill, administrator with the Oshawa Welfare Board since its inception in 1932, was appointed Employment and Claims Officer at the local Un- employment Insurance Com- mission. Several OCVI students work- ing on farms during the sum- mer were awarded by the De partment of Education a year's standing without writing the departmental examinations. J, W. Cavers was appointed business manager of the Osh- awa General Hospital, succeed- ing C. J. Astrop. Kiwanians William Babe and Everett Disney .were Oshawa delegates at the annual Ontario- Quebec-Maritime District Kiwa- nis convention. They accepted a trophy on behalf of the Osh- awa Kiwanians, who lead the district clubs in achievements during the year. Richard F. Stephens, native of the district, celebrated his 90th birthday. Gordon Crawford, Jarvis street, left with the Canadian Firefighters for overseas. His older brother, Jack, already was a member of the group. Surpassing all previous at- tendance records, 80 volunteer blood donors turned out at the Oshawa Blood Clinic. Rev. A. D. Cornett, pastor of Simcoe Street United Church, was elected president of the Oshawa Ministerial Association. Three cases of poliomyelitis, reported here in August by the Medical Health Officer, were on the way to recovery. Mayor W. H. Gifford official- ly opened the Kinsmen Club model home on King street east. The final band concert of the season played from the Mc- Laughlin Band Shell was large- ly attended. A juvenile cornet trio of Raymond and Ronald Walker and Art Wilson, and vocal solos. by L. H, Thompson, assisted the Civic and Regi-' mental Band. Dr. W. H. Stanley was elect- ed president of the Oshawa General Hospital and Dr. O. G. Mills was elected chief of the medical staff at a peeting of members of the profession. and Gas, Calgary. The map shows licences cover 15,000 square miles, STRUCK OIL The AOG which with the Ca- nadian newcomer has joined forces for specific areas is also associated with a United States enterprise, the Union Oil-Kern County Company. This partner- 'ship is the only enterprise that has found oil in quantity, qual- ity and location befitting a pros- pective commercial field. It has struck oil half a dozen times in the Moonie field in Queensland on the border of New South Wales but the field has not been declared a com- mercial proposition since the promoters are first seeking to ascertain the extent of the find and the cost of a pipeline to the coast for shipment to a refinery, Doyle T. Graves, union resi- dent manager, said the con. struction of a pipeline would be delayed until it was known that reserves in the Moonie field were big enough to justify it. It is expected that when and if the critical phase of proving and assessment is reached there will be great acceleration of prospecting by many. compa- nies now making little more than token observance of licence obligations. CANADIAN CAPITAL The petroleum map _ shows that to December, 1961, the to- tal of private-company spending was $165,500,000, of which $152,. 600,000 was spent in the 16 years since 1946. The total of governnient subsidies to Dec. 31 was more than $19,000,000. Apart from Canadian capital in drilling contracts, there is Canadian exploratory interest in another half-dozen leases. Foreign oil marketing compa- nies are developing affiliations with oil search projects and Australian prospecting compa- nies are extending interests be. yond their own permit boun- daries by accepting "farmouts" from other prospectors. One object is to spread the cost of exploration but the chief motive would appear to be an- xiety to be on the right oil wagon when the commercial stuff begins to flow. There's a ready Australian market for more than $225,000,- 000 worth of oil and petroleum products annually. : this spring. The experience and technical skills of these people are badly needed by Communist China. But their help and confidence has to be gained. According to what some of them have told foreign diplo- mats, the intellectuals still re- call the "rectification" which followed only a year after the 1956 appeals to "'let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend." In the meantime, while offi. cial pronouncements have dropped the emphasis on the simultaneous development of in- dustry and agriculture as well as predictions that Communist China will overtake Britain in- dustrially within 15 years,' at. tempts are being made to ease the lot of peasants and workers by offering more material re. wards for their labor. Observers say more of the food produced is being chan. nelled back to the people in- stead of being exported to pay for machines and equipment with which to develop industry. Stress now is laid on produc. tion of consumer and handicraft goods, and efforts are being made to see that they get into the hands of the people. Peasants are being persua.ed to rely more on their own ef- forts, to plant their own gardens and produce small crops for big they will be paid individ- ually, READERS' VIEWS If Red States Happy. Why Wire and Walls? Dear Sir: Referring to a letter In the Times September 14, and -bear- ing a name, Lloyd Peel, in which the writer deals with an address I gave to a Service Club recently. Subject "Bus Tour, Russia," It is quite evident he did not hear the address because I stated "Russian entertainment is unequalled in the world" and praised the University in Moscow, Kremlin Theatre, the Metro system, etc. (See Jack Gearin's column, July 14). I particularly stressed the warm friendliness of the Russian people. The writer stated he was "amazed at the description" of the trip. His amazement was shared by others but probably not for the same reason. I quite agree that "A tour of the Soviet Union is an exciting and interesting experience'? and more Canadians should make the trip. The letter states "look beyond the fact that women do QUEEN'S PARK Racing Charters Producing Odors By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- If this govern- ment has any political sense at all it will try and do something to clear the absolutely ludicrous situation regarding racing dates in Ontario. Last fall and winter, you will recall, there was what amounted to a political scandal concerning the new Rideau Raceway near Ottawa. To get racing dates in Ontario you must have legal betting-- the Racing Commission would say you couldn't afford it with- out the revenue from _ the wagering. a track you must havg"a rac- gally under the Criminal' All of these charters we: sued in the 1800s. To get them you first find out somehow where there are some lying dormant. TODAY IN HISTORY. By THE CANADIAN' PRESS Sept. 18, 1962... The French surrendered Quebec to British forces in the wake of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham 203 years ago today--in 1759. Both the French corfiman- der, Gen. Montcalm, and the British chief, Gen. Wolfe, were killed in the fighting. 1885--Riots broke out in Montreal! in protest against compulsory vaccination. - 1810--Chile declared its in- dependence from Spain. Then you must get control of these (presumably by digging mup some people who have in- herited shares.) And then you must get the provincial secre- tary to revive them. ONLY PCs? . Last year in the case of Ri- deau the federal PC. member for Renfrew, James Baskin, ended up controlling seven of the companies controlling these charters. This gave him 84 days of rac- ing (plus another 14 which was set aside for use of county fairs.) Now another and even more prominent Conservative, Hon.: Earl Rowe, federal member for Dufferin-Simcoe, former cabinet . Minister and one - time party leader in Ontario, has come up = another hand-full of char- ers. Mr. Rowe has seven of them, which he is using to get racing dates for a new harness track with which he is connected in Windsor. POLITICAL. ODOR There may be nothing at all irregular in the revival of these charters, This is the only way that new race tracks can be opened. And both the government, and prob- ably the public, want more tracks. * But it is hard to infiagine any- thing with more of a political bad smell to it. A smell which is made all the more disagreeable by the fact that the Ontario Racing Com-. mission, which controls the al- location of racing dates in the pr jinces, sits behind closed 00.8. road repairs and other . like jobs." Well, you look, buddy, because I can't. I would have been only. too happy to visit a summer camp to see "the love and care given to the children." We asked to see a school, a hospitai and a construction site but it was not allowed. Such places are prob- ably reserved for honored visi- tors. May I suggest Mr. Peel be invited to speak to local groups on his six weeks visit to the USSR. The people of Oshawa are entitled to all the informa- tion available. A well informed public in a free society, might then have the answer to my question. If Russian Socialism is such a happy form of gov- ernment why is it necessary to surround East Germany with a wall, or cage, of barbed wire? I crossed four borders and on both sides the wire stretched for miles. A tour of the Berlin Wall and of East Berlin leaves no doubt in my mind that the Third Reich of Hitler was not ~ the last of depraved and despic- able dictatorships. EVALYNE BRANCH Oshawa.
