-- She Oshawa Fines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited' 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario ""T, L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1962 -- PAGE 6 West Needs Euromart With Britain In It._ Prime Minister Diefenbaker return- ed from London with: expressions of gratification about the "achieve- ments" of the Commonwealth confer- ence. All other participants, including the British, were also happy about it = or so they said. The fact of the matter is, of course, that nothing was accomplished at the conference except the re-chewing of some very old eabbage. And nothing more could have been expected, since a dramatic change of mind by any of the prime ministers at the conference would - fave been nothing short of a miracle. * So now Britain goes back to. the European barganing table, possibly a little weakened by the public display of shortsighted selfishness given by the older members of the Commonwealth, and Canada in particular. There is-said to be a, growing body in opinion in Britain against member- ship in the Common Market. That thay be so. But even if the Macmillan government falls on the Euromart igsue, there is no doubt that its suc- cessor, Conservative or Labor, will be following exactly the same course in two or three years time. Britain's move into the Common Market is inevitable, because it is necessary, politically and economically, not only for Britain's sake but for the sake of the western world. : Patrick Nicholson, who contributes an Ottawa column to this page, to- day starts a series reviling Macmillan for. his Common Market stand. Mr. Nicholson's fulmination sounds like an echo from the past -- the echo of an empire now vanished and a Common- wealth that: never existed. We dis- agree with him at almost every point. Canadians should be praying that Britain makes an acceptable entry into the Common Market. Here lies our hope for a Western Europe not dominated politically and economically by one or two countries; and for a trading area that will grow to include the whole Atlantic Community -- and from there, if wisdom prevails, te embrace the free world. Double-Standard Talk With the UN once more in session, there will be more opportunity to examine the.charge that U Thant, the acting secretary-genral has the Asian failing of applying one standard to advanced countries "an another to underdeveloped countries. r When he visited London a few weeks ago, U Thant made a speech in which he said: "It is a mistake to assume that the political institutions and forms of democracy in most of the newly independent countries will be of the same type as those prevail- fng in Britain, or that there will necessarily be two main parties com- peting against each other for the votes of the people. The notion that democracy requires the existence of an organized opposition to the govern- ment of the day is not valid. Demo- cracy requires only freedom for op- position, not necessarily its organized existence." Semantically, this may be gound, but the implication is obvious. While the new countries of Asia and Africa may consider themselves free to criticize the internal political arrange- ments of the older countries of the W,est, they are to be counted as im- mune from such criticism themselves, since it is irrelevant. Henry Fairlie, writing in The Spec- tator, points out: "If we do not think that systems which deny an opposi- tion the right to organize are inferior -- whether in Spain, East Germany or Ghana -- the whole of political argument seems rather pointless. The argument need not be pressed to the point of withdrawing recognition from such systems, or imposing sanctions against them; but it is important that it should be maintained: with a little urgency and conviction on our side. We are in danger of growing careless of the casualties. of dictatorial, restrictive or closed systems of gov- ernment." Biggest, Fattest Market The challenging and thoughtful ad- dress give by Burton F. Bowman, president of Cyanamid of Canada, to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce annual meeting in Vancouver last week, should be studied by govern- ment trade officials as well as by manufacturers. Mr. Bowman expressed his belief that Canada can greatly expand its exports to the United States, and offered a program of action to achieve that result. "We have. in Canada a good standard of living which we want to keep," he declared," and on top of this we have on our border the largest, fattest market in the world. Certainly, in my opinion, any country interested in selling to the United States can be out-sold by Canadian industry. This is not a political problem, 'it is a marketing problem." He had four suggestions: "We must shake off any defeatist attitude and act like what we are -- the biggest customer of the United States. That counts for something...

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord: we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his sal- vation. -- Isaiah 25:9.

PATRICK NICHOLSON LONDON, England -- While Britain appears to have invited 14 Commonwealth prime minis- ters to discuss her application to join the European Economic Community, it has been fully obvious here that Prime Min- ister Macmillan wanted no true discussion, but a rubber-stamp of approval. Into that mill pond of make- believe, Prime Minister Diefen- baker of Canada dropped an early block buster. Previously, Macmillan and his able lieuten- ant, Edward Heath, had re- ceived polite applause when they spoke to describe, respec- tively, the general picture and the economic details. Then. Mr. Diefenbaker, as representative of the oldest overseas member of the Commonwealth, was called on to address the gather- ing. CLOSED DOOR LEAKS The meeting is private, so only delegates and their advis- ers hear the speeches, but the Commonwealth conference room is the leakiest locked chamber this side of a South American jail. What with the Pakistan peepers, the Austral- ian amiability, the Trinidad talkers, the Rhodesian repeat- ers and others, the whole of London knows every word that ie was said; and the' newspapers stood ever ready to fill any gaps. So we know with assurance that Mr. Diefenbaker delivered rolling phrases which rocked Macmillan; he received louder and longer applause than had ever before been heard at that so respectable gathering. So unexpected was this recep- tion that Hon. Howard Green, our foreign minister, who had been present told me after- wards: "I have never been so proud to be a Canadian." "Dief," as the newspapers here all call him, set the tone. From his critical lead, Pakis- tan, Australia, India,. Jamaica and New Zealand took their tone to deliver speeches critical of Britain's proposal. IF NOT UNION--WHAT? Dief told the gathering he had some alternatives to suggest. The -corridor gossip between delegates quickly agreed that wider trading unions are desir- able for-all, and that Britain's entry into "Europe" would in- evitably tend to postpone in- definitely the European drive for a closer Atlantic partnership and for a free world trade bloc. Why cannot the dominions all seek, and be granted, some non- political economic link with YOUR HEALTH Pain Of Sciatica Stems From Nerve By JOSEPH G .MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: What about the sciatic nerve the causes of its inflammation, and its treat- ment? Is this ailment ever cured completely without dan- ger of recurrence?--L, M. The sciatic nerve lies at the back of the thigh. The nerve emanates from the lower part of the spinal cord. Pain in the trunk of this nerve is sciatica..Too often the term is loosely used: for any pain in the leg. True sciatica is identi- fied by tenderness over the nerve and other suoh signs. The pain is variable, but it can be excruciating, and at such times it is enough to ruin anybodys disposition. Sufferers have my sympathy. I remember quite a few years ago that a prominent actor, while appearing in a stage com- edy, was in sheer misery from sciatica, He asked those who knew about it not to inform the audience because knowledge of his problem might take some of the fun out of the show for them, Doubtless he was right. There are three major cate- gories of causes: One is infection of the nerve, a. true neuritis . The seconds, metabolic orders, such as diabetes gout. eo The third, and perhaps com- monest, is some mechanical ir- ritation of the nerve at its point of origin. A defective or "'rup- tured spinal disc, severe curv- ature of the spine or bad pos- ture' are all possibilities, but these usually cause pain on only one side. If the pain is on both sides, the physician makes a careful investigation of the possibilities of a metabolic cause or of a dis- or tumors affecting the spinal cord. Men suffer more often from sciatica, but women sometimes are found to have large pelvic tumors pressing on the nerve. Heat, large doses of Vitamin B and pain-relieving medica-- tions are the principle tempor- ary treatments. In some cases it is even necessary to resort to narcotics. The permanent treatment, naturally, is dictated by what- ever is proved te be the basic cause. For one person antibio- tics may be the answer to con- quering infection; while for an- other it might, for example, be a specially fitted brace for the back which will take the pres- sure off the nerve. If the cause can be corrected, the pain is ended permanently. As to recurrence: If something bothers the nerve, it hurts. When conditions are normal, it behaves. 2 world F ; ingly Europe? Cannot we work out something approaching free trade including North America? If Britain is ready to ' federate with 200,000,000 Euro- peans, would she not more will- federate more broadly with a like number of.predom- : inatly Anglo-Saxons and Scots in North America? Surely the } nearly one billion citizens of the Commonwealth will ultimately offer a better market than Eur- ope one fifth of that size. These were great and wise questions posed, largely stem- ming from Mr. Diefenbaker's Canadian 'doubts. : BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Samuel J.

FRAMING? SEP i es Walmsley & Magill 9 KING ST. E. OSHAWA SS eae 'REPORT FROM U.K. By M- McINTYRE HOOD Special ondon (Eng.) - - Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Half a_ million visitors to the Food Fair at London's huge Olympia exhibi- tion building have had a good look at a. wide variety of the } -quality Ontario food stuffs on display there. It was interesting, and gratifying, to notice how the crowds of visitors to this ex- hibition of foods halted in their progress among the stands to have a good look at what On- tario has to offer, to sample some of its products, and to make purchases for home con- sumption. From my own obser- vation when I visited the Food Fair, the Ontario exhibits seem- ed to attract more spectator at- traction than any others in the large building. 3 : Ontario Products | A Hit At Food Fair The concentration of Canada's 'exhibit at thi: year's Food Fair on the.products 9f-a single prov- ince -- Ontario -- should prove a good thing for export trade. On the main stand and dividual stands were displays of canned fruits and vegetables from Western', Ontario, -- the Niagara Peninsula and the Georgian Bay. district. Firms engaged in food processing, lo- cated in Leamington, Colling- wood, ThornLury, Winona,-Ham. ilton, St. Catharines, Essex, To- ronto, 'Chatham, Tecumseh, Trenton and Stoney Creek, had all contributed to the splendid display of these products. Black Diamond and Cherry -- Hill Cheese, coupled with a display by the Ontario Cheese Pro- ducers' Mirketing Board intro- duced to the British fairgoers the finest products of that deli- QUEEN'S PARK Trend To Bigger Municipal Units BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The trend to- ward a stronger county- system is gathering steam. It has been noticeable that in recent meetings of municipal officials there has been much less resentment of the sugges- tion that the counties should be given more responsibility. This feeling has not reached the stage yet where it would accept: any drastic changes. But in fields such as. welfare the first steps are being taken to open the door for larger-- and, it is said, more efficient and less costly--county units. One "an predict that the next decade will see fundamental changes in our form of munici- pal government. CRIME LAB? Did you read about the je- quirity beans -- the colorful beads from Haiti that are deadly poisonous when chewed and which have been sold throughout the province on necklaces? Not too prominently men- tioned in the story was the fact that the testing of the beads had been done by the attorney- general's crime laboratory. Have you heard of it before? Probably not, for it is one of the least publicized branches of government here. Yet there are few, if any, which would make better copy. Our attorney-general's crime laboratory is outstanding in the entire world. Under the direction of Dr. H. Ward Smith, it is known to criminologists everywhere. And of course as it is con- tinually dealing with murder and other crimes it's day to day story is fascinating.

Six boxes of gold bullion worth $215,000 were stolen 10 years ago today -- in 1952 -- from an unguarded cargo: shed at Malton Air- port. near Toronto while awaiting air shipment to Montreal. The gold was never recovered. Investiga- tions indicated it had prob- ably been flown in a pri- vate plane to New York and then smuggled to Hong Kong and eventually to Communist China.

RESEARCH EXPANSION The Ontario Research Foun- dation is starting research. in economics as well as its tradi- tional technical fields. This is one more reflection of the increasingly vital import- ance of research in Canada as' we move into our long-pants stage of nationhood. _ We can't depend on research in the U.S. and other countries any more. Surprisingly perhaps, some segments of industry have been opposing government research. One would think there: is plenty of scope for everybody. And when one sees opposition one inevitably recalls that re- search means patents, and pa- tents mean money and private industry likes both patents and money. the in-. cacy..And the Ontario Honey Producers' Co-operative; Lid., had stacks of pots and jars of serge tag were selling like 4 .

Here again, there is a strong demand for this Ontario product, but a great. shortage of supplies. One very seldom can find these lus- cious McIntosh apples, or any other Canadian variety, in the frdit stores, except for a period of about two weeks at the Christmas season. Yet there is a great market crying out for supplies to meet the and: Another innovation in this On. tario exhibit was a display of Ontario's onions and carrots, neatly packaged in cellophane bags, crisp and fresh. Here again, there is a demand for these top quality products awaiting the enterprise of the Canadian producers and pack- ers. Ontario, by this display at the Food Fair, has done an excel- lent job of presenting its prod- ucts to a public avid to buy them, Bvt I noticed one thing above a!l others. Time and again, visitors, interested in these products, would ask the question: "Where can we buy these canned goods in England -- or London?' Unfortunately, there was no one there who could give a specific answer to that ques- tion, What was needed more than anything else was a series of 'signs in large type, telling the public where they could buy these Ontario products in this country, giving a list of at least some of the stores which stuck them. That was the missing link in the exhibit. It might also be the link which could turn con- sumer interest in this coun- try into a mighty flow of On- tario food exports to the United Kingdom. te ENTIRE Monthly Prizes Plus...
