The Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1962 -- PAGE 6 More Than Expedients Required Of Government We hope that the success of the emergency economic program in res- toring stability and confidence in the Canadian exchange market has not lulled Prime Minister Diefenbaker into a state of complacency. The fiddling with the bank rate, imposition of tariff surcharges and borrowing from international agencies are ex- pedients designed to ease emergencies, not solutions for the problems that create emergencies. Mr. Diefenbaker and his colleagues should be prepared to place before Parliament and the country a body of constructive legislation designed to solve the problems that led to the critical fiscal situation of last June and that have been bedevilling the Canadian economy to a greater and greater degree ever since the St. Laurent government proceeded on the assumption that Canadians can have their cake and eat it, too. The lack of confidence in the Cana- dian dollar that made itself apparent earlier this year was not a reflection simply of our balance-of-payment difficulties. Before the international money markets was our dismal record of deficit financing, of an economy slowed to a crawl, of a nation diping into capital because it could not live high enough on income alone. The fix- ing of the exchange rate was a neces- sary step, and it was taken it could be retained for some time. But the other measures were, as we have said, ex- pedients only, which have served their : primary purpose of giving some stability to our exchange situation. Now, as the Bank of Montreal notes in its latest business review, the way is clear "to undertake longer-term measures designed to overcome the underlying balance-of-payments diffi- culties which became apparent when the Canadian dollar was overvalued in relation to other currencies ... The special difficulties faced by Can- ada should not be insuperable, given appropriate domestic policies and having regard to the wide range of institutional mechanisms for interna- tional co-operation that are now available." Trap Of Generalization A news story from Jackson's Point a few days ago read: "Health Minister Matthew Dymond of Ontario critic- ized the press Saturday night for its treatment of Real Caouette and the Social Crediter's qualified praise of Hitler and Mussolini ... The press had never reminded Mr. Caouette -- and the Canadian people -- that the boom periods in the 1930s in Germany and Italy came about because Hitler and Mussolini were preparing for war. "Tt is our duty to remind our young people of this,' Dr. Dymond told the fall conference of the Toronto and District Young Progressive Con- servative Association. 'God forbid that this country should ever be led by people who will advocate guns instead of butter.'" Dr. Dymond should read his local newspaper more closely. On Aug. 25, The Oshawa Times made this com- ment about Mr. Caouette's remarks concerning Hitler and Mussolini: "The 'economic reform' he admires was predicated on the inevitability of aggressive war; the leadership he admires floated on castor oil (ad- mired by Fascist thugs); and the solution to unemployment, which it seems he also admires, was conscrip- tion of a huge, badly-paid army that was used for bankrupting adventures in Africa and the Balkans." We know of at least three other Ontario newspapers that commented in the same vein. Dr. Dymond seems to have fallen into the trap of worthless generaliza- tion. Choice Of Textbooks Many newspapers -- including this one -- have been critical of the ex- treme latitude allowed Ontario secondary schools in the selection of textbooks, because of the cost to parents of what sometimes appears to be a perverse insistence on text changes simply for the sake of change. In many localities, too, the present system results in frequent shortages of a particular' text, and students may go for weeks without one or more of the assigned books. The answer of some teachers is that the critics of the system want one prescribed text for each course. The answer is a poor one. The fact is that nobody wants such a restric- tive practice. There are bound to be different opinions about the compara- tive worth of different textbooks, and many of these opinions will be valid. It is understandable, too, that a teacher can get thoroughly bored with a text after using it for a year. At the same time, a layman can wonder if a teacher who has to rely so heavily on textbooks that he needs an annual "refresher" is a teacher or simply a mechanical purveyor of someone else's words and ideas. The critics do not want to eliminate all choice. What they ask, is simply a reasonable limitation of choice. The provincial department of educa- tion should see to it that this is done, Fear Of Fingerprints A bit of a controversy was stirred up by the Hamilton coroner who sug- gested "Maybe we should all. be fingerprinted so that in unusual cir- cumstances such as a car accident or a fire it would make it easy for the police to identify us." He was sharply criticized by those who considered that any move towards universal fingerprinting would be gross inva- sion of privacy and another danger- ous enlargement of the power of the state over the individual.

Harris, 'for example, fumed: "Every increase in state authority means a corresponding decrease in the individual's responsibilities and rights. The extreme example is life in the highly regimented dictatorships where police work is eased at the expense of civil liberties . .. To compel every citizens to register his or her fingerprints with a government bureau is ... reminiscent of the Nazi practice of tattooing serial numbers on the arms of inmates of concen- tration camps." : What he says about state authority and individual responsibility, of course, is historical fact, but the Nazi comparison is valid only if he considers our whole country a con- centration camp: What rights do wer" lose if we are fingerprinted? About - 40,000 Canadians, not criminals, send their fingerprints each year to the RCMP's national fingerprint bureau in Ottawa, simply because they con- sider it a form of protection; it's doubtful if they consider they have made themselves "the property of the state." Fingerprinting could be considered in the same category' as the recording of birth certificates, and we doubt if even the most rugged of individualists would argue against the need for the certificates, ALL READY FOR THE WORLD SERIES REPORT FROM U.K. Tory Makes Tour Of Commonwealth By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- There is one Con. servative member of the British House of Commons who is in en- tire agreement with Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker's idea that a plan for extending Common- wealth trade should take prece- dence over Britain joining the European Common Market. He is Peter Walker, MP for Wor- cester. Mr. Walker is remark- ably well informed on the views of the major Commonwealth countries regarding Britain's proposed move into Europe. Mr. Walker has just returned from a whirlwind around-the- Commonwealth tour which, in the space of 30 days, took him, at his own expense, to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India. In these countries he had consultations with many types of people who are deeply concern- ed over wha' should Britain enter the Com- mon Marke.. He -- meetings in 15 different cities and appeared many times on radio and television in the coun- tries he visited. Now he has re- turned to give the British pub- lic, and its government, the ben- efit of his discoveries as to the State of public opinion in the Commonwealth. Mr. Walker has briefly sum- marized his impressions in brief. He says: In Canada, the coun- try is divided on the issue, which is overshadowed by the problem of the country's colos- sal adverse balance of trade with the United States. In India, the government is greatly worried about the effect YOUR HEALTH Bland Ulcer Diet Increases Weight By J. G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: In 1956 I developed a duodenal ulcer and my doctor put me on a diet to cure it. The treatment was successful, but I have gained about 40 pounds and every time I diet, the ulcer flares up. Is there any kind of diet I can follow without bothering the ulcer?--MRS, F.G. The typical ulcer diet is high in fats--milk, cream, cream soups. However, the diet needn't be so rigid, nor so heavily laden with fat- Skimmed milk instead of whole milk or milk -and- cream can be used for interme- diate feedings. For desserts, use gelatin, sherbets or ices instead of puddings. 'And above all remember that diet isn't the whole story. Keep caffein drinks, smoking and al- cohol at a minimum because they make ulcers flare up. Fre- quent small feedings are impor- tant. Avoid spicy condiments. Judicious medication, emo- tional control, and avoiding ten. sion and fatigue are other im- portant aspects, Get all of these factors working for you to keep the ulcer under control, and you then have moderate leeway to reduce the amount of fat in the diet. Dear Dr. Molner: nasopharyngitis?--M.0, It means inflammation of nose and adjacent throat areas-- "naso" for nose; '"'pharying" pharynx; and "'itis" for inflam- mation. Dear Dr. Molner: What is meant when a school psychia- trist says a child is "imma- ture'? One told me my son was What is Or it may refer just to emo- tional matters--again having no relation to intelligence: A child may have brains to spare for classwork, yet not be sociable in games, or not know how to cope with teasing, or not be able to adjust to the normal mixing of youngsters.

One-third of India's exports go to Britain and 50 per cent of them would be adversely affected. In Australia, Mr. Walker re- ported, there would be great pressure to clamp down on Brit- ish insurance, shipping and banking earnings if Britain goes into the Market: He hoped that Britain's negotiators would re- alize what a _ tremendously favorable trade position Britain enjoys with Australia, and vould see that it is looked after. New Zealand, he reports, is completely dependent on its trade with Britain. Everyone has the greatest respect for the way in which New Zealand's case has been handled by Premier Holyoake. DEFENDS MACMILLAN Mr. Walker emphasized that he had not made the trip in an attempt to intensify. the tough. ness of the opposition in Britain to the Brussels negotiations. A great deal of the time he had found himself in the peculiar position of defending Mr. Mac- millan. In Australia and New Zealand, particularly, the view had been expressed to him that Mr. Mac- millan was not fair in the pledges he was giving on trade safeguards. "Time and again,"' he said, "TI gave it as my view that he was perfectly sincere, and that unless the pledges could be ful. filled he would recommend that we should not join the Common Market. But everywhere I went people had the impression that Britain was not interested in a more positive Commonwealth trading policy. "I am absolutely convinced that if Mr. Macmillan had said to the Commonwealth prime ministers 'let us discuss ways in which we can increase Com- monwealth trade and. the flow of investment', he would have found a response from the lead- ers of those countries which I have visited."

OTTAWA REPORT Politicians Dodge Harsh Measures By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--As our 25th Par- liament assembles here for its first session, a question which aptly poses itself is: "Is par- liamentary democracy out- moded?" On every hand in the West- ern world, democratic govern- ments are in low popularity, while their policies as well as the policies of their opponents are equally rejected by the rs, In France, the assassin's bul- let repeatedly seeks President de Gaulle. In West Germany, the "Old Man" is sincerely wished into retirement. In U.S.A. the popularity and effectiveness of President Kennedy are slumping. In Britain, Prime Minister Macmillan has de- teriorated from "'Super-Mac" 'o senile disrepute.

Could popular policies essential for Canada's good?

Dr. T. E, Kaiser made a pro- posal that a monument to Rob- ert Burns, Scottish poet, be erected in Oshawa. City Council authorized re- naming Mechanic street to Mc- Millan street in honor of T. H. McMillan, pioneer of the city, who had much to do with Osh- awa's development. An Oshawa Intermediate rug- by team was organized to play in the Ontario Rugby Football Union series with Murray John- ston elected as president and Neil Hezzlewood apppoint- ed secretary-treasurer. City Council gave the Osh- awa Railway Company permis- sion to run an auxiliary bus service only if the same fares were charged as for street cars. Building permits for 1927 to date were reported over the $8,500,000 mark. A bylaw was passed creating King and Simcoe streets as through streets. Seventy-six streets crossing King or Simcoe would become stop streets. Water mains construction costing $20,000 was authorized, including mains for 50 houses under General Motors Housing Scheme.
