She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher -- TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1962 -- PAGE 6 New Olympic Regulation Will Not Be Enforced The International Olympic Com- mittee has banned from future Olym- pic Games "state amateurs" subsidiz- ed. by their governments and college ,athletes receiving scholarships based on athletic ability. Strict application of this rule would eliminate the teams of all the Communist nations, about half of the U.S. Olympic team, the - Canadian hockey team and such Cana- dian athletes as Harry Jerome who have accepted athletic scholarships at U.S. universities. ¢< The Committee needed to take a close look at its interpretation of ama- teurism, since so many countries now subsidize their outstanding athletes. But instead of taking a realistic look, the Olympic officials as usual have failed to notice what has been hap- pening in the world around them and have reached an impossible conclu- sion. The effect of the new rule would be to reduce the Olympic Games to a quiet little contest between well- heeled nobodies. What it should be is -a competition between the best.athle- tes that a nation can produce. What will happen, of course, is this: The Communists will blandly an- nounce that they do not subsidize their athletes, who have scrimped and saved to pay their own way to the Games; other countries will try to find some way around the scholar- ship block, possibly by awarding scholarships for "general proficiency" instead of athletic ability. And the Games will go on once again in a cosy atmosphere of official hypocrisy. It's time that the Olympic author- ities recognized the fact that in these times the simon-pure athlete, all on his own, has as much chance of reach- ing the expensive Olympics as Khrushchev has of being named an honorary citizen of the U.S.A. Douglas And Deficits T. C. Douglas, leader of the New Democratic party, has been quoted as saying that if the government in- sists on striving for a balanced budget, "we're headed for trouble". He feared that financial orthodoxy was being put ahead of human welfare. Mr. Douglas's concern is under- atandable. At the same time, we must face the grim fact that Canada is in economic trouble today of our post- war weakness for living beyond our means. We have created a pattern of debt, and deficit financing is part of that pattern. And we are not going to get ourselves straightened out until we realize that we cannot go on indefinitely on a course of spending more than we make, of buying more than we sell, of dipping into capital to supplement our income. That is what we have been doing, and that is why we are in trouble. One of the big reasons for the in- ternational lack of confidence in Cana- dian currency that made itself ap- parent earlier this year was Canada's failure to demonstrate that it could keep its spending in some reasonable relation to its income. Canada is in somewhat the same position as the young man with a family who has a good position and excellent prospects of substantially improving that position in the future. He can live comfortably if he lives within his budget. But if he tries living on the level he hopes to achieve in five, 10 or 20 years' time, he can wreck both his present and his future. British Political Stew An interesting political situation is developing in Britain, with the Com- mon Market as the catalyst. Hugh Gaitskell, leader of the Labor party, has called for a general election before the U.K. government makes a firm agreement to join the EEC, if the final terms do not please all British parties and Commonwealth countries. There isn't the slightest chance of Britain entering Euromart on terms that will satisfy all Commonwealth members, of course, and Mr. Gaitskell knows it. But does he actually want to fight an election on this issue? The two major parties in Britain are hopelessly divided among themselves on the Common Market. On the Con- servative side there are 40 to 50 mem- bers of Parliament who are bitterly opposed to Britain's entry in the EEC. The Labor party has a committee of about 60, including 10 former cabinet ministers, six trade union leaders and six of Labor's front-bench members, which is strongly in favor of Britain's entry. Only the tiny but growing Liberal party has unanimously and enthusiastically endorsed the move to Euromart, with no ifs or buts or divi- sions. As our London correspondent, McIntyre. Hood, comments in a news dispatch, "Just what sort of an elec- tion campaign, and election results, this kind of alignment would produce is almost too ludicrous to imagine." Lake Trout Recovery According to a news report from the Lakehead, the commercial lake trout fishing on the'north shore of Lake Superior, now operating under a quota system, is showing improve- ment. The catch is bigger and the " fish are often larger in size than those that have been caught in recent vears. The Port Arthur News Chronicle notes that "this could signal, finally, a successful turning point in man's battle against the lamprey eel, that slithery creature from the ocean which in the past decade has pen- etrated to mid-continent and just about wiped out the lake trout popu- lation in all of the Great Lakes...

Vigorous attempts by both Canadian and United States fisheries people to check the lampreys by dumping lampricide into all of the- major streams running into Lake Superior have been believed for some time to be achieving success. The current im- provement in the trout catch would bear out this contention and one can now dream of the time when all of the lakes will again be trout produ- cers." Before the dream comes true, how- ever, there will have to be a long and unremitting struggle to keep on. re- ducing the lamprey population on the one hand and to rebuild the lake trout population on the other. To speed up the regeneration of the lake trout the re-stocking program must continue and the quota system imposed on the commercial fishermen must be strict- ly enforced.

THE MEMBERS AT THE WEDDING YOUR HEALTH Surest, Cheapest Way To Recovery By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: Having been afflicted with athlete's foot at one time, ads for various remédies catch my eye--and I found all of them absolutely useless. It was my good fortune to be given a solution by a podiatrist about 10 years ago and I was amazed to find the athlete's foot completely eliminated after one application. With a sure-fire product like this one on the market, I'm surprised at the claims of other so-called athlete's foot cures or nostrums,--M. H. L. You must be a newcomer to our group or you'd know my answer to this. Patent medi- cines have two basic weak- nesses. First, they must be in- nocuous, arid hence often not very effective, before they are approved for sale. Second, pat- ent medicines are mostly bought by people who make a flying guess at what ails them. They may be right or they may "be wrong, and if they are wrong in guessing the nature of the disease, they are pretty certain to select the wrong patent medi- cine. In your case, after spending REPORT FROM U.K. Villagers Resent Cities' Pressure By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent © For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- People who live in the delightful little villages of England are running into diffi- cult times in these days of mod- ern progress and expansion in what they term "fighting for our way of life as we kuow it to- day". That way of life in the typical English village is some- thing they prize. It is so radical- ly different from life in bustling towns and cities. It is a, peace- ful life, and the folks who enjoy it resent efforts which are be- ing made almost daily to change it. These changes are threaten- ed by the encroachment of ex- pansions of towns and cities into the. peace and guictude of the countryside. And the resentment which the. villagers show is far more vehement than any which one would find under similar circumstances in Canadian com- munities. One of the villages in which the people are figiing for their accustomed way of life is Thorpe St. Andrew, Norfolk. It is a pleasant place on the banks of the River Yare. They are re- sisting strongly proposals of the Labor-controlled city council of Norwich to extend the city boun- daries to take in the whole of Thorpe St. Andrew. FILM OF ITS LIFE As one of the efforts to retain its traditional identity, the peo- ple of the village have formed a protective association, which is having a sound film made of all the main activities of life in the village, It includes the schools and recreation vrounds, parades and sports, organization activ- ities, and it is being made by the association's own amateur film ugit. When the proposals of Noi 'h come before the Boun- d Commission for considera- tion, a request will be made to have the commission view the film, so that it can appreciate the villagers' point of view. So far, the film extends to over 800 feet, and A, G. Hodges, secre- tary of the association, takes the view that even if the battle is lost, there wiil be for posterity a useful record of what things used to be like in English vil- lage life. PRODUCE NEV'S SHEET The protective association is also producing its own. news sheet, 120! which goes. to every one of the more than 3,0. «aouseno.us the village. About 1,200 of the householders have already join- ed the association. In a message in the first issue, A. E. Roberts, association chairman, states: "If we do not win this battle we lose our individuality entirely. Many of us came to live here because we considered it one of the least spoiled areas surround- ing the city. We have built our life round the strong community spirit which exists. We shall never be as reasonably govern- ed as we are now if we become part of a large community." The publication also includes a short history which finishes with a warning to the 'Norwich City Fathers" that several early owners of the Manor of Thorpe had a bad time of it subsequent- ly. Stigand, Archbishop of Can- terbury, who was Lord of Thorpe from 1052 to 1070 was later banished by William the Conqueror. Relph de Gauder also had to flee after rebelling against William. Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, who was granted the manor of 1543, was later sen- - tenced to death for treason, only escaping execution. because Henry VIII died the day before the Duke was due to die on the block. considerable money on patent medicines, you somehow had the good fortune to encounter a podiatrist who, being trained in care of the feet, gave you a remedy that corrected your trouble. That's no proof that the remedy would be, as you put it, "sure-fire" for everybody else who has something wrong with the skin of the feet. In the last few years some new drugs have been developed for such skin diseases that are superb--pro- vided you apply the right medi- cine to the right ailmeni. Athlete's foot is a general term meaning that some sort of itchy affliction has you in a toe. hold. In some very comprehen- sive health books you don't even find the term listed; other books explain that there are several organisms that can cause. the troubie, and that. there are other diseases which resemble this ailment. Some of the patent medicines will control some mild varieties of the ailment. I suppose that most of the nostrums will help somebody. And it's a goal of freedom to let people do what they want to, so long as they don't hurt other people. From thta standpoint, I agree with letting some people sell and other people buy patent medi- cines. But if I had a case of one of the ailments called athlete's foot I'd choose the quickest and surest and cheapest way of cur- ing it. "d go to somebody who can distinguish between this kind and that kind--and would tell me which medication is best for me. As a result of today's re- marks I krow perfectly well what will happen. Several dozen people will write to me demand- ing the name of the "sure-fire" remedy you used. And you know what? I'm not going to tell them. Because what was right for you may not be right for them, and also be- cause you did not tell me what it was. SENT TO SEA MONCTON, N.B.(CP) -- A rum bottle found washed ashore by Earl Powell at his nearby Cocagne River cottage con- tained a note written on a piece of torn wrapping paper. It read, "Where will this go: Sent to sea on July 23, 1951 from party sur- veying on the Hami:ton River, Labrador. Good luck to the finder from John McLean and party.""

OTTAWA REPORT Search Urged For 'Safety Car' By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--An American sen- ator, appalled by the toll of ac- cidents on the roads, has called for the design of a passenger "safety car' which would give the motorist the same kind of crash immunity enjoyed by an astronaut riding in a space cap- sule, Senator Edward J. Speno, chairman of New York State joint legislative committee on Traffic Safety, has told me something of his demand for the design and construction of an automobile "completely de- signed for safety from bumper to bumper." He believes that the research funds needed for the design of this safety automobile would properly be provided out of the public treasury of his country. And he suggests that, as air- craft are phased out as defen- sive weapons, the application of engineering skill in the aviation industry to the manufacture of the safety automobile would create a happy marriage be- tween know-how, technologi: unemployment and public safe- lic safety. THOROUGH REDESIGN Senator Speno has long been interested in the broad field of traffic safety. He has been com- mended by Governor Nelson Rockefeller, the National Safety Council, Consumers Union and other officials and organizations for his success in formulating highway safety bills adopted by New York State Legislature. These cover such topics as the compulsory installation of safety-belt anchorage, the pro- vision of safety-belts, and mini- mum safety standards for such Controversy Grows Hot Over Use Of WASHINGTON (AP)--Man in his heavy-handed, clumsy way swats, sprays, screens, swears and moves away in his constant battle with bugs. He carries impressive weap- ons against his small torment- ors--from the rolled up news- paper to deadly poisons, from the spray gun to the airplane. Now he is being criticized for reacting in an exaggerated and dangerous way: His attempts to rid himself of pests may be poisoning the earth, its crea- tures and himself. But in his constant battle with nature, he may have little choice. Perhaps the foremost critic is © biologist and author Rachel Carson. Miss Carson's new book The Silent Spring, is a drama- tic indictment of the indiscrim- inate, widespread use of pesti- cides. It warns of the danger in tampering with the "'balance of nature,"' and argues strongly for biological controls rather than massive use of chemicals. Says Miss Carson: "The cru- sade to create a chemically sterile, insect-free world seems to have engendered a fanatic zeal on the part of many spec- ialists and most of the so- called contro! agencies. On every hand there is evidence that those engaged in spraying operations exercise a ruthless power." : MAKE CHE}.:CALS Many of the most. efficient chemicals 'now available to con- trol pests are synthetics such as heptachlor, dieldrin, DDT and chlordane--subtle, man - made combinations of carbon and chlorine atoms, joined in a partnership of death- Miss Carson says that since the mid-1940s more than 200 basic chemicals have been cre- ated to kill insects, weeds, ro- dents and other pests. Today, to control insects and animal pests, the United States makes some $300,000,000 worth of chemicals a year. Crops are sprayed from the ground and the air. Homeowners have their own arsenal of weapons against everything from Japanese beetles to birch leaf miners, aphids to crab grass. There is a federal control program. Food and Drug Ad- ministration field men try to keep tabs on farmers to make sure they don't spray at the wrong times, sending insecti- cide - laden crops to market. FDA inspectors can intercept suspicious crops in interstate traffic, block their sale, send violators to jail for up to three years and fine up to $10,000 for each offence. ¢ TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 2, 1962... Much of the far northern territory of Canada was formed into the districts of Mackenzie, Yukon, Ungava and Franklin and placed un- der the control of the Re- gina government 67 years ago today--in 1895. Yukon became a territory in 1897. The remaining was divided into the districts of MacKen- zie, Keewatin and Franklin in 1918. 1535--Jacques Cartier ex-. Byred the St. Lawrence iver to Hochelaga, site of present-day Montreal. Pesticides Local food supplies are only as safe as local controls. Some states--notably California and Florida where pesticides have been in widespread use--have good controls. Some states have practically no controls. "For the first time in the his- tory of the world, every human being now is subject to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception untii death," writes Miss Carson. 'In the less than two decades of their use, the synthetic pesti- cides have been so thoroughly distributed throughout the ani- mate and inanimate world that they occur virtually everywhere "They have been found in fish in remote mountain lakes, in earthworms burrowing in soil, in eggs of birds--and in man himself. They occur in the mother's milk and probably in the tissues of the unbora child " belts. Most other states have adopted highway safety bills modelled on these. "But this kind of device-by- device legislative technique takes too long, while thousands die needlessly on our roads," og arg "The creation e safety car wo shortcut." . oe "American science can the Moon, and design a vig cury capsule which protects its Occupant against a crash im- pact 60 times the force of gravity," he told me. " then science can be used to de- sign a car which will peg ni rm accidents 4 will reduce the ber of accidents?" -- MANY NEW FEATURES The safety car envisaged by the senator would incorporate as standard equipment most of the currently optional safety de- vices, such as seat belts, collap- sible steering shafts, head rests, padded 'dashboards and non-opening door locks. But it would not be a_ production model with gadgets fitted; it would be 'asically designed and built for safety. For instance, its exterior would be constructed to oushion aecident impact so that driver and passengers would not be hurled about. "This crash-decel- erating trick might be achieved by light metal or even honey- comb pressed paper, whick would be extremely cheap to re place," he said, - The exterior would be stripped of pedestrian - killing projections; the interior would be cushioned and projection- free. 'Fail - safe" engineering and long-life components would be incorporated. In controls, the emphasis would be on enabling the poorest driver to control the moving vehicie in all situations. "If the idea sounds far fetched, does it sound stranger than exploring outer space?" the Senator asked me. Although only 42 years old, Senator Speno has already been attacked by and recovered from cancer; the life- which was spared to him is now dedicated to saving as many as possible of the nearly 50,000 lives for- feited in traffic accidents in North America each year. "It is exciting to know that my work might be of interest in areas as distant as your news- papers," he told me. QUEEN'S PARK Market Available To Good Salesmen BY DON O'HEARN LONDON, England -- Cana- dian and Ontario manufacturers ¢ sell more here. Plenty more. But first they have to want to sell it. The reaction one gets here on the scene is that the vitally needed export market is here for us in the 'U.K. and Europe. But so far our manufacturers have been a great deal less than adventurous in going after it. Trade people here are enthu- siastic about Ontario sales over- seas. They have had enough exper> ence to know that the market is there. Sufficient Ontario manufac- turers have come over and sold in the U-K. and European mar- kets to give solid proof that gen- erally speaking most Canadian manufacturers can market here, The efforts that have been made, however, have been very much spot undertakings. Somebody in a company would decide that it might be able to export and would come over here and sell some goods. But there has been no appar- ent appreciation of the market by the manufacturing commu- nity generally. So that the first job which must be done is to get our man- ufacturers to appreciate that there is a big market (there are 20,000,000 customers in a 25 mile radius of London) if they will only try to sell it. CANADA WELCOMED Ontario is lucky in that it has exceptionally good people here. Major James §S. P. Arm- strong, the agent general, is a representative of stature who gives a fine 'image' for Ontario. Working with him are quite an exceptional group of civil servants. Webster Thompson is the sen- ior trade counsellor. And Mr. Thompson is quite an amazing young man. At home, it seems, we aren't used to working as hard as Mr. Thompson does. 7 Actually he is quite a lesson in 'application. More than that, however, he has made himself known to the business world here in a way that quite amazes one. And his words of advice one can pass on with confidence. Among these are: The label "Canadian" has ac- ceptance. Canadian goods have high standing in the U-K. market, and also in Europe. It stands for good style with quality. We are considered to have U.S. know-how along with good workmanship. The dominant inferiority com. plex about our goods is wrong. We have a feeling that we can't compete. This is not right. In most areas Canadian goods can compete price-wise. Production costs here have ity creased and our methods havé€ narrowed any great margin in costs. In those areas where we have been ahead--such as in casual shoes--we can under-price. We have paid our styling and pattern costs out of our domes- tic sales, And we can walk into this market in a definitely preferred position. But we do have to walk in. We can do it. But we have to start. ed Walmsley & Magill OFFICE EQUIP: LTD. 9 KING E., OSHAWA 725-3506 CARPET - AND CHESTERFIELD 728-9581 puone Satisfaction Guaranteed or Money Refunded Free Pick-Up and Delivery.
