The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, OCTOBER, 11, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Liberal Senate Leader Takes Cynical Attitude Senator Ross Macdonald, Liberal leader in the Upper Chamber, thinks the Senate should hold up some of the House of Commons bills, because it is the duty of the Senate to take "the general attitude that no piece of government legislation which might come before us in the current ses- sion could be said to have behind it a clear popular mandate." This is the worst sort of political partisanship, and Senator Macdonald 'puts the whole Senate in a bad light when he so nakedly puts party before country. The Senate has everyright to hold up government legislation (except money bills) that it considers too hastily conceived, poorly phrased or generally not in the best interests of the country. But it has no moral or constitutional right to hold up legis- lation simply because it comes from a government or a Commons com- bination of which it disapproves. Such petty action would quickly ins- pire a hostile public opinion that would demand reform of the Senate, which is long overdue, or even call for the abolition of the Upper Chamber, which would be a pity. Fortunately, while there is still a Liberal majority in the Senate, Senator Macdonald is not 'likely to get support from more statesman- like colleagues, who will consider the legislation on its merits and not on its usefulness in political manoeuv- ring. In any case, the legislation coming from the Commons may well have "a popular mandate". If a govern- ment measure is opposed by the com- bined opposition, it cannot pass the Commons -- and the government could fall. Highways And Tolls This year sees the completion. of more than 460 miles of Highway 401, and the end of the ambitious four-lane project is now in sight. When comp- leted -- sometime in 1966, according to present highways department esti- mates -- it will stretch 510 miles from Windsor to the Quebec border. It could be finished earlier if the de- partment allotted more funds to it and less to other road projects else- where in the province. But there is a mounting feeling that, even though the money and work for the super- highway are being spread over near- ly 20 years, the superhighways are taking too big a chunk of the budget. Highway 401 is a great conve- nience for Lower Lakes motorists and truck companies. Indeed, one shudders to think what the traffic situation would be without it, and without Highway 400. It has also brought substantial economic bene- fits to many communities along its course. But the area that has bene- fitted most from both 400 and 401 is the ugly ant-heap that is Metropolitan Toronto. There is no doubt that the accessibility of these splendid arteries has helped manufacturers decide to locate new plants in the Metro area. Under these circumstances, should the whole province help pay for a super-highway like 401, or should it be a toll project? The Ottawa Citizen has argued that "the highway build- ing program in Ontario is not keeping up with demand, and the policy of keeping such arteries as 401 free of tolls is helping to retard it." The Frost administration consi- dered and rejected the toll-road pro- posal. The Robarts administration should re-examine it, in the light of the need for a greater dispersion of industry in the province. Testimony In Secret The Royal Commission on Banking and Finance proposes to hear behind closed doors the testimony of the present governor of the Bank of Can- ada, Louis Rasminsky, and former governors Towers and Coyne. One wonders why such secrecy should be necessary. What is needed at the pre- sent time is a great public debate on Canadian fiscal and monetary policies and theories, and there are no three persons in this country better quali- fied to kick off such a debate than the Messrs. Towers, Coyne and Ras- minsky. When he was governor, Mr. Towers often appeared at Committee hear- ings. He was a calm, informative and articulate witness. And Canadians still remember the impassioned but still articulate way that Mr. Coyne conducted his case against Mr. Flem- ing and for his own economie theories. Mr. Rasminsky has made' no head- lines, because he does not court pub- licity, but he too has a precise mind and the ability to express himself with charity. As the Ottawa Journal comments, "it may very well be that the central bankers have opinions and informa- tion that should be heard in pri- vate. But these precautions being ac- cepted, we. fail to see why the public should not hear these distinguished gentlemen speaking on subjects on which they have been expected to know as much as anyone in Canada." Vicious Poison Circle Hunters have been warned by gov- ernment biologists that woodcock shot in New Brunswick this year are dan-- gerous to eat. Highty per cent of birds examined are carrying measur- able residues of highly poisonous in- secticides. So far the danger to human health is not believed to be great.

In winter, Loui- 'giana farmers spray their crops. The circle is a vicious one. In both eastern and western U.S. and Canada insecticides are aleady a major threat to bird life. Birds are a major means of insect control. If the bird popula- tion declines, more insecticides will be used. And the New Brunswick authorities warn, insecticides can be homicidal. Ironically, of all life forms, only insects have so far shown the ability to develop immunity to these virulent poisons. This has inspired chemists to cre- ate even more deadly and persistent insecticides. Untli now a farmer in Louisiana can poison a hunter in New 'Brunswick. | Progress, indeed, « School, THORN IN HIS SIDE oa REPORT FROM U.K. Nights Too Quiet For Scot Tourists By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times EDINBURGH, Scotland-- Michael Noble, secretary of state for Scotland, must have had his tongue in his cheek at a press conference held in Edin- burgh when he strongly deplored the absence of "night life' in the towns and cities of Scotland, and blamed that for stagnation in.the country's tourist business. The press conference was held to mark the launching of a new QUEEN'S PARK booklet 'Scotland for the Tour- ist" produced by the Bow Group of Conservatives. This booklet says there is a danger that Scot- land may become a_ tourist backwater. It advocates a locally-administered tourist tax to help with the staging of com- muna! activities. Although there is a great deal of justification. for' Mr. Noble's suggestion that there is not enough "night life' in Scotland to attract tourists, his ideas are not likely to go down well with the Scots. It is perfectly true Premier Displays Hustings Unease By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--One night during the Huron-Bruce byelection I stood in the lobby of the high school in Wingham and watched Premier Robarts come in for a meeting. ' 1 was struck by a similarity to something in the past. A while later I recollected what it was. It was like watching Liberal Leader Farquhar Oliver during the 1955 election campaign. In that campaign Mr. Oliver seemed lost. At times he would have. to wander into a town and ask where the meeting was. At least once he had to beg a ride. There was nothing so des- perate as this with Mr. Robarts, of course. As premier of the province he has people to arrange his sched- ules and transportation. But Mr, Oliver during that campaign used to enter a hail as though he were somewhat surprised to be there . . . And the people would receive him as though surprised he was there. There would be a lull and then somebody would grab a hand and shake it. During last January's byelec- tions there waé this same un- ease surrounding Mr. Robarts. Then, however, Mr. Robarts was new and strange--to his job and to his clan. But now--a year later -- still the same awkwardness. Your correspondent wondered. FROST PRO : Premier Frost was all pro and he had a pro organization be- hind him. He set the pattern for the type of meeting which Mr. Robarts has been following--the "'recep- tion," with a handshake and a cup of coffee or tea for every- one, And it used to be wonderful to watch Mr. Frost make his entrances. From the time his car came to the door there was a sense of importance. When he stepped from his car there was an immediate wave to someone. And he took over, There was authority exuding from him. And there was action. There were no embarrassed pauses. It was HIS show. And there was no question who was the main--and only--act. Not Pro? A small thing? A matter of manner of enter- ing a meeting is small. But small perhaps as a spot on a necktie decries a sloppy man. ' To the writer it indicates the reason why the PC's lost Huron- Bruce. At the moment Premier Rob- arts and the party aren't pro. > BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Dr. J. W. S.

"~d that entertainments and amuse- ments in Scottish cities and towns close down at an early hour, but that is the way that the Scottish people have always wanted it, and I doubt if they will change their ways for the sake of attracting more tour- ists. They would rather pin their faith on Scotland's natural at- tractions for tourists rather than turn to the kind of night life found on the continent of Europe. NOBLE FORTHRIGHT The secretary of state for Scotland was quite forthright in his suggestions. He said that Scotland had no facilities at night for what his daughters would call '"'living it up'. He thought that hotels could do more to enliven holiday-makers' evenings by providing entertain- ment such as dances or con- certs. "One of the things we have to think about is what tourists in Scotland have to do at nighs," said Mr. Noble. He compared Scotland, very unfavorably in this respect, with France, Switzerland and Aus- tria. He also claimed that the late night attractions staged during the period of the Edin- burgh Festival were tremen- dously successful, and attracted a@ great many people. "We have to think of Edin- burgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Paisley, Dundee and so on, which after 10 o'clock at night, are pretty dead,"' he added. "'If Scotland is to have a flourishing tourist industry, hotels in cities and towns should be encouraged fo provide evening entertain- ments to attract visitors if there is nothing available 'at the top of the glen. We have to pro- vide the kine of things that visi- tors want to do." OTHER ATTRACTIONS The scope of Mr. Noble's re- marks at the press conference, however, was quite outside the context of the booklet which he was helping to launch, It laid stress on the preservation and development o& other types of tourist attractidgs. It stressed the need for preservation for the salmon fishing and shooting pos. sibilities of the country, Skiing in the Highlands, pony riding, mountain climbing and sailing were suggested as tourist amen- ities which must 'be more thor- oughly organized with proper in- struction. Then the report goes off at a tangent, too, just as Mr. Noble OTTAWA REPORT Modern Version Of Carroll Fable fy PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--On July 4 just 100 years ago, the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a young professor of mathematics at Oxford University in Eng- land, took the day off and went boating with the three small daughters of the dean. That night he duly noted that auspi- cious summer picnic in his diary: "I made an expedition up the river to Godstow with the three Liddells; we had tea on the bank there and did not return until half past eight." But he so under-rated the im- portance of that day that he failed to describe in his neat meandering diary the reason for their very late return from tea. He should have noted that one of the little girls was named Alice; that she had asked him to spin them a fairy story; and that he had accordingly in- vented the adventures which be- fell that little girl in her imagin- ary fall down a magic rabbit hole. YOUR HEALTH In the century which has elapsed since that midsummer day's dream was woven, Alice has passed into the hearts of children' everywhere, as the creations of that gay clergyman, better known by his pen - name Lewis Carroll, have become fa- miliar frinds in many lang- uages. ; On this hundredth anniversary of the creation of Alice's Won- derland, the ghost of Lewis Carroll ap pro priately stalked through the stately chamber of the House of Commons 01 Par- liament Hill. For Liberal Leader Lester Pearson and his able lieutenant John Matheson, MP for Leeds, Ontario, made a bold bid to re-enact the fable of the Walrus and the Carpenter, with the Social Credit MPs cast in the role of the oysters. If the Hansard report of our parliamentary proceedings was. compiled beneath a hayrick on the sun - drenched bank of Ox- ford's Isis river, it would report the event thus: Distended Veins Need Attention By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, M.D. Every so often a couple of letters arrive at the same time and one answers the other. Like this pair: "Dear Dr. Molner: My hus- band has varicose veins and re- cently I noticed an open sore near his ankle. He said it pained him very much 'ut he is afraid to go to the doctor-- Mrs. D. H," The other letter: "You had a letter from a per- son with 'milk leg' and you sug- gested surgical attention to vari- cose veins. You are so right, Dr. M. "IT saw a miracle take piace in my own home last fall. My mother had milk leg for years, she could hardly walk and had an open sore on her ankle. "She had heard of surgery but was afraid of how much it would cost. Finally the doctor said' she might be inable to walk at all unless she had the operation. 'Believe me, 'he surgery was not real expensive. We are com- mon people and could not have afforded it if it had been. "In four to six weeks she was walking very easily and is so thankful she had the operation, and to all our family it seemed like a miracle.--M.Z." But it's not a miracle. It's a matter of applying knowledge that has been accumulated over many years. Phlebitis and varicose veins are not exactly the same thing, C. but they have a great deal in PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Misunderstanding among peo- ple cause many troubles, but not 10 per cent as many as would result if people thorough- ly understood one another, Then there was the man who said he made certain his daugh- ter's wedding would be a quiet affair. He equipped his shotgun with a silencer. did. It suggested reformation of the country's licensing laws to provide greater facilities for tourists and a more tolerant at- titude towards Sunday sport and entertainment. And to the Scots, who regard Sunday with a great deal of reverence, that would be like a red rag to a bull. FROM AS @ 2-pc.

Hence fresh blood is equally slow in flowing to the area. Removing or tying off the dis- tended. veins forces circulation into other veins. The rate of circulation becomes _brisker, and with this fresh blood sup- ply 'varicose ulcers" at last have a chance to heal. As to fearing the cost of the surgery--or any other neces- Sary treament -- I desperately wish I could get across to every- one this single, important thought: Don't wait and worry in mis- ery. Just ask your doctor, "How much is this going to cost?" He may not be able to predict: exactly, but he'll give you an epproximate idea at least. Like most worries we keep to ourselves, we magnify things all out of proportion. Further, if you do have finan- cial problems, your doctor will help find a solution. We pride ourselves that nobody who needs medical care has to go without it. But you, as the pa- tient, must start the ball roll- ing by talking to your docior about it. "Dear Dr. Molner: I would appreciate a diet to help me avoid kidney tones. I had a calcium oxalate stone and a unable to get a complete diet. -- Uf, sir, your doctor hasn't given you a diet, it might be because he doesn't think it will help you. Diet isn't a maior factor in avoiding stones, (You might eat foods high in oxalate rarely or sparingly.) The more important measure is to keep the urine dilute so stones can'i form--and this can mean drink- ing two to three quarts of fluids a day. Mike Pearson and John Matheson Were seeking to command; They wept like anything to see That hostile Socred band. "If they were only cleared away," They oe "it would be "If seven Grits with seven pokes "Campaigned for half a year, "Do you suppose," Mike Pearson sai it," sald John And shed a bitter tear. "0 Socreds, come and vote with us," Mike Pearson did beseech. "A pleasant quote, a pleas- ant vote "After my fiery speech. "We cannot win alone, 80 let's "Each give a hand to each." The senior Socred looked at him But never a word he said. The senior Socred winked his eye And shook his heavy head, Meaning to say he did not choose To leave the Socred bed. Alice's friends know how the fable goes on. Some impetuous young oysters did leave the © oyster bed, walked along the beach with the Walrus and the Carpenter, and in due course were completely gobbled up by the scheming couple and disap- peared entirely. Just so Mr, Pearson invited the Social Credit group to vote with the Liberals in support of his "no confidence' motion against the government. Just so John Matheson besought the So- cial Credit group to omit from their own motion of no confi- dence those fateful five words about 'Social Credit principles" which precluded the Liberals from supporting it. And all to what end? Presum- ably that the Liberals might precipitate an election in which, the Walrus and the Carpenter hoped, they would be able to gobble up the Social Credit oys- ters in Quebec, and capture their seats in parliament for themselves. But the event showed that So- cial Credit leader Robert Thompson is less impetuous than those young oysters; and the moral recited on that Eng- lish river bank 100 years ago frustrated the design of Wairus Pearson and Carpenter Mathe- son in Ottawa. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 11, 1962... The South African War began 63 years ago today-- in 1899. From the start of the Boer invasion to ratifi- cation of peace in Pretoria May 31, 1902, the British suffered 5,774 killed and 22,~ 829 wounded, while the Boers lost about 4,000 killed. By war's end, 32,000 Boers were in prison camps and 110,000 in concen tration camps. 1615--Champlain was de- feated by the Senecas in Sencca country. 1779 -- General Casimir Pulaski, exiled Polish pa- ivioi, was killed fighting with the Continental Army in Georgia during the Am- erican Revolution.
