She Oshawa Cimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limitea 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher "SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1962 -- PAGE 6 American Case Founded On Most Urgent Ground Even a Conservative member of. the Canadian Parliament has seen fit to join the legalistic quibbling about the blockade of Cuba by the United States -- quibbling that sounds like a dreary echo from the past. to those who watched in anguish the shame- ful march of events in the Thirties. To our shame, Canada led the quib- bling when an effort was made in the League of Nations of impose sanctions on Italy when Mussolini made his grab in Ethiopia. There was quibbling when Hitler marched into the-Ruhr, into Austria, into Sudeten- land. Not once during those years, until the great explosion in 1939, did the leaders of the totalitarian states get a clear an unmistakable warning: "So far and no further." Had such a warning been given, 1939 might well have been a year of peace. What the quibblers refuse to face are the facts of power relationships in international affairs. Until the na- tions accept the rule of international law -- and they are a long, long way from that. -- their conduct can only be governed by the stresses, checks and balances of physical and moral power. The UN, for example, while physically impotent, represents a cer- tain factor of moral power. It may be that there are legal weak- nesses in the American case for a blockade of Cuba. But let no one doubt the strength of the American case for national and hemisphere security. Peace has been preserved in the cold war by an agonizing balance of power. between east and west. The offensive thrust of the Communists into Cuba, if unchecked, would ser- iously disturb that balance. This is clearly the time and place for the challenge. The innocent man who is to be hanged can derive only sour satisfac- tion from the knowledge that his executioners are committing a legal crime. And the Americans could scarcely be expected to sit quietly in the electric chair and wait for Khrush- chev to throw the switch. Signs Of The Kingdom By THE REV. R. A. BOMBAY Simcoe St. Pentecostal Church St. Luke, ch. 21; 25-32, "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of na- tions, with perplexity; the sea, and the waves roaring. "Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. "And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. "And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. "So like wise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the Kingdom of God is nigh at hand. "Verily I say unto you, 'This gen- eration shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.' " More Than Sweet Talk Montreal farmer John Dickson told the Milk Foundation annual meeting in Oshawa this week that the Founda- tion should spend more money on public relations. He thought a stronger public relations campaign would change people's "mistaken ideas" about butter. : We hate to disillusion him, but it's going to take a lot more than persu- asive talk to change people's minds about the cost of butter to the house- wife and the taxpayer. And the house- wife has another beef -- she has the irritating chore of mixing.color into margarine because of the pressure of butter interests on timid politicians. The federal government this year came up with the jimdandy idea of bribing Canadians with their money , to eat more butter. It was called a "consumer subsidy" and the cost for the year is $42 million. According to Pierre Cote, president of the National Dairy Council, there has been an increase in butter consumption of some three million pounds since the subsidy went into effect. This works out to an annual increase of about 86 million pounds. At this rate the Canadian government is spending $42 million to increase the sale of butter by 36 million pounds -- an expendi- ture of $1.17 per pound, or just about twice the retailprice of butter. This is the sort of nonsense that makes the butter situation as messy as it is. And as long as it continues, no amount of public relations work is going to make it smell any sweeter. Cerebral Palsy Week During the Cerebral Palsy Week, next week, the Oshawa and District Cerebral Palsy School and Clinic held at Simcoe Hall will hold an open house every morning from 9 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. This gives the people of city and district an excellent opportunity of learning what is being done about the disease here and at various school and treatment centres throughout the province. The Week is not designed for fund- raising but to inform the public about the ideas and the need for more research. It is estimated that from 1.5 to three cases of cerebral palsy occur in each 1,000 of the present popula- tion, which would represent a total of between 24,000 and: 48,000 victims in Canada.

Infections such as German measles in early pregnancy may produce harmful chan- ges in the nerve cells of the brain of the unborn child. Complications at the time of birth sometimes cause cerebral palsy. Brain damage, with effects similar to those of* cerebral palsy, can also result from head in- juries suffered in accidents, or by a stroke later in life. Unlike a broken limb, brain damage cannot be healed, but the handicap resulting from brain damage can in many cases be modi- fied by proper treatment and training. Additional residential facilities should be provided for cerebral palsied children and adults, and better vocational assessment and training are needed. There is always a need for more research.

Finance Min- ister Nowlan last week anh- nounced that $228,000,000 had been trimmed from the original estimates of $6,276,211,594, but he did not indicate what this would do to the expected deficit that confronts Canada. The Parliament will have to be presented with the new reve- nue budget before this will be known. Many of the austerity meas- ures have already been intro- duced; In the actual govern- ment services, the impact has already been felt, and the econ- omy has adjusted to these changes. But the cutback in public works -- totalling $64,800,000 -- is bringing some protests. For instance, New Democratic Party leader Doug- las was arguing that the reduc. tion in the government spend- ing will increase unemploy- ment, This is not necessarily an automatic consequence of the spending reduction, although conceivably it will happen. The nation has come to depend heavily on public works to pro- vide employment, and any re- duction is bound to come as a shock to that dependence. What we need to recognize is that the more we pile on in pub. lic works, the less scope we leave for the private sector of the economy to expand and pro- vide the needed employment. Moreover, if the country con- tinues blitherly piling up deficit after deficit, the inevitable re- sult is a loss of confidence in the nation, and a tremendous financial and economic crisis. Canada is approaching the crossroads where it must make up its mind what it is going to do. Either if is going to clamber back aboard a sound conservative (not necessarily party) platform, or it will plunge forward otward the col- lapse that will have us all back- hewing wood and_ drawing water. That is the inevitable result of the continuing deficit program which forces billions of dollars in borrowing each year. If that is what Canada wants, then let it come. But we sus- pect that when the people real- ize where the present extrava- gant policies are leading, there will be a widespread clamor for the retrenchment that is des- perately needed today. Orillia Packet . Times: Who rules the sea, rules the world. This. maxim, which has been reiterated and proven time and again through all the years of recorded history, is as ture to- day as it ever was, with the added proviso of "and the air above the sea.'"' Yet it is one of the supreme ironies of our time that the English - speaking peoples of the world who owe their survival, their power, and their prestige almost entirely to their control of the sea at Cru- cial periods of. their history, neither acknowledge nor com- prehend their utter dependence upon this great' principle of world power, Hidden behind the mass of legend and illusion, of tradition which passes for our history, lies the hard backbone BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO The local YMCA membership campaign went over the top with 711 new members enroll- ed. W A .Dewland who per- sonally signed 27 new members, won top honors in the canvass. Deputy Reeve F. Mason an- nounced at a town council meet- ing that the new viaduct at Highland Creek would be offi- cially opened Nov. 14 by Hon F. C Biggs, Minister of Public Works and Highways. T. H. Everson was named to the executive of the Town Plan- ning Association at the annual convetion in Toronto. The Oshawa Golf Club con- cluded the most successful sea- son in its history, having secur- ed many new members. Thomas Henderson won the men's club championship,. while Miss A. Frankish captured the ladies' championship for the year. Chimes, donated to the new St. George's Memorial Church by T. E. Houston, Cincinattti, as a memorial to the late Ed- ward Carswell, were installed in the tower. The Oshawa Flying Club con- cluded a most 'successful sea- - son during which six races were held. The Arcade Trophy was won by I. Travell, one of his 934.96 yards per minute in the six flights: The Oshawa Symphony Or- chesira, under the leadership of Samuel Trew, featured two con- certs weekly in the Regent Thea- tre. A public health laboratory was put into operation by the Osh. awa Board of Health, under the supervision of Dr. G L Bird. A shortage of female help seriously handicapped canning operations at the Oshawa Can- ning Company, King street west. Cedardale Public School was reported among the highest of the Penny Banks of Ontario for the months of May and June, showing an average savings of 55 cents per pupil.

Welland Tribune: If there is to be orderly procedure, rules must be observed. This is par- ticularly so in parliament where partisan feelings can some- times run high. The situation has been recognized in the compilation of standing rules and the establishment of au- thority through recognized par- liamentary practices. But it has long been the ex- perience in Canada's House of Commons that the rules are by no means _ scrupulously ob- served. In fact many liberties-- too many liberties -- are con- stantly taken, especially at question time. All of which makes it diffi. cult for the Speaker of the House to properly perform his functions. Some latitude is per- missible, as is the case with any presiding officer, but too often things have got out of hand with the result that~Mr. Speaker has had to deliver a more or less serious lecture on the rights and privileges of members. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 27, 1962... The Grank Trunk Rail- way opened for operation between Montreal and Tor- onto 106 years ago today-- in 1856. It had been incor: porated in 1853 to construct this key railway link in eastern Canada, intended to serve all important cities in Quebec and Ontario and to link up with U.S. lines. 19388 -- Germany began mass deportation of Polish- born Jews. 1937 -- Japan refused an invitation to a nine-power conference' at Bruss UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Byelections To Reveal i State Of Tory Support | By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London CEng.) Co For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Mid-Novemberr will see a test as to whether the reversal of public opinion in favor of the government' has any real substance, or whether the popularity of the Conserva- tive party is still at a low ebb. There are five byelections due to be held, and the most likely date for them is Nov. 15. The writs have been issued, and while the precise dates are left i of the local re- turning officers, it is probable that polling will be on-the same day in all five constituencies, with 'the middle of November favored as the most opportune time. All five constituencies were formerly held by Conservatives. At the time when they became vacant, Tory fortunes were in a slump, and they were all con- sidered more or less marginal. Today the Conservatives are more hopeful that the party's swing back into popular favor to some degree will keep the seats in the government column. HEALTHY MARGINS Certainly in four of the five seats, the margins look quite healthy for the government. The seats, with the government ma- jority in the last election, are as follows: Glasgow Woodside, 2084, Cen- tral Norfolk, 6787, South Dorset, 6693, Chippenham, 8785 and South Northants, 5934. In the first four, in 1959, there were three - cornered contests, and in each case. the Liberal candidate was a very poor third. In South Northants there 'was a straight fight between the Tories and Labor but it is likely that there will. be a Liberal candi- date in the coming byelection. There is quiet confidence in government circles that all five seats will be retained by the Conservatives, although the ma- jorities may be reduced to smaller " eiadagenad than in Oc- tober, 1959, TOUGH FOR LABOR Another byelection is due early in the New Year because of the death of William Glen- vil Hall, Labor MP for Colne Valley. This is likely to be a tough byelection for Mr. Gait- skell, because the Liberals are already organized to make a flat-out bid to capture the seat, the only Labor-held constituency at risk in the six byelections now pending. Although the Liberals had no candidate in the 1955 election, in 1959 they polled 11,254 votes, eating drastically into both the Labor and Tory share of the -poll. Mr. Hall was elected with a majority of 6,254 over the Con- servatives, who polled 13,030 votes, but Mr. Hall had been the MP for Colne Valley since 1939, and in the intervening period he had acquired a very strong personal vote which his successor as Labor candidate might find hard to maintain. Mr. Hall was 75 years of age. He was financial secretary in the Labor government of 1945- 1950 after starting his working life as a bank clerk. In 1950 and 1951 he was chairman of the Parliamentary Labor Party. But after the 1950 general election, for some, unknown reason, Prime Minister Attlee dropped him from the cabinet. GAS SUCCESS There is one segment of Brit- ain's nationalized industries operating on a successful basis. Sir Henry Jones, chairman of the Gas Council, had a sunshine report to present on the last fi- nancial year's operations. This state-owned concern had a sur- plus of close to $10 million, and it was able to report that every one of its 12 area boards con- tributed to this success, Their profits ranged from $36,330 in Wales to $1,950,000 in the East Midlands. Sir Henry -had further good news for the gas consumers of the United Kingdom. He fore- cast that no increase \in the price of gas is contemplated, and there may well be spme re- ductions. And the induttry may be able during the next five years to provide from its sur- pluses most of the capital need- ed for its vast expansion pro- eg He is oy confident that a few years t! industry will be self-financing. With other nationalized indus- tries, such as coal mining and the railways, deeply in the red, it is encouraging to find the Gas Council making so great a suc- cess of its undertakings. . FEAR LABOR MOVE With the government. firmly committed to entry tp the Euro- pean Common Mar at the earliest possible date, there is one shadow of fear which lin- gers in the background. The al- most unanimous support given to the government's course by the Conservative Partry Confe- ence has given it the green light to go ahead with all pos- sible speed. At the same time, it has stiffened the Labor Party's determination to fight against British entry into the ECM unless on the terms dic- tated by Hugh Gaitskell. Mr. Gaitskell demands that, if the terms agreed upon are un- satisfactory to his party, a gen- eral election be held before the agreement goes before pariia- ment. He wants to put a brake on the government's program. There is one way in which he could do this effectively. He could announce that the next Labor government will not con- sider itself bound by aay agree- ment reached in the 'Brussels negotiations. This. might well achieve for Mr. Gaitskell the very: thing which he wants -- an early elec- tion, A firm policy statement that a Labor government would YOUR HEALTH Pasteurized Milk Nutritious, Safer By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: 'I am »n a milk diet. Raw milk is rather hard to get, so instead of the pasteurized variety, would you recommended buttermilk from a dairy?--MRS. E. M, Pasteurization was adopted because it prevents so many dis- eases, such as undulant fever, tuberculosis and typhoid fever. These and others have béen traced to milk that became con- taminated, enther because of disease in cattle, or some other source, Pasteurization doesn't change the nutritional value of milk. It simply destroys germs. Raw milk is dangerous. Don't take a chance. I don't suppose I can quibble with people who insist on try- ing a milk diet. It is not as good as a balanced one of ele- ments which milk alone cannot provide. Drink buttermilk if you prefer. But it also:requires pasteuriza- tion. Dear. Doctor: Is it all right to drink milk with your meal? Someont tells me that one should drink only water with the meal, and milk afterwards. Is this true?--MRS., E.D., Jr. "Someone," I regret to say, is trying to foist off on you an old wives' tale. There's no rea- son why you shouldn't drink milk with your meals. Dear Dr. Molner: What is the average weight for a girl, barely 11, who is 4 feet 914 inches tall treatment several years ago for cardiac asthma.--MRS. C.M. There is'always finishing work to do after the plastering. If the walls are to be covered with oil paint, the plaster must first be dry. This doesn't take very long. not ider itself bound by the agreement reached. could well discourage the Common Matket Six countries from completing negotiations until after the Bui- ish people have geen given in | Opportunity to vote on the su ject. This is the one Labor move that the Tory ministers, openly jubilant at, the moment, genuinely fear, but it will not be made by Mr. Gaitskell of his own volition. If it comes, he will be pushed into it, because, afterr all, M. Gaitskell is anxious to see Britain in the Common Mar ket, and his only point of dif- feence with the government is on the terms negotiated for entry. QUEEN'S PARK Liberal Success Little Unsettling By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Early success may hit the Liberals on their way to the top seats in the forum here. The Grits have been getting a few base hits recently. And there are signs this may have bred a disproportionate op- timism in some of their' mem- bers--or, to put it another way, they are getting a bit slap- happy with success. TWO CASES There have been two recent instances. One of them involved Arthur Reaume and his two colleagues from Windsor: Maurice Belan- ger and Bernard Newman. There is an amalgamation un- der way in their home city and and weighs 89 d She doesn't look too heavy or fat except for a, poddy tummy or spare tire, She has never lost her baby tummy. Should she diet?--MRS. M.T. She's slightly. above average in height and weight for her - age, Part of her "tummy" may be poor posture. She undoubt- edly will "streamline" at pu- berty. Does she get plenty of exer- cise? Fi T'd doubt if any reducing diet is necessary. About 2,000 calor- ies a day are normal for a child of her age and size. Dear Dr. Molner: We are soon moving into an apartment that is not as yet completed. I wonder if the new plaster will cause any dampness, as I took DRUG STORES _OPEN THIS SUNDAY 12:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. 530 SIMCOE ST. S. JURY & LOVELL LIMITED 725-3546 6 KING ST.

And, undoubtedly to make themselves popular heros, they came out publicly in favor of a vote on the issue. ; Front stage and center in the second was James Trotter, member for Toronto Parkdale. There is a mayoralty election campaign in Toronto. One of the issues is the question of a truck noise bylaw -- which requires provincial consent, A local paper canvassed all local members on their opinion, and Mr. Trotter didn't fall into the frying pan he dove into it. Not only did he favor a noise bylaw, he said, he personally would introduce a private bill to forward it, MITCH DIFFERENT Ah John Wintermeyer, -aren't you sorry now that you entered politics? In both cases the attention- hungry Grits were playing with mud pies. Our politicians over the years may not have been the bright- est, but at least they knew that in a question stch as annexa- tion or amalgamation a vote of the people would add only one thing: heat. The only provision there ever has been for a vote was a very limited one which applied to rural townships. And this was removed in 1039 by Mitchell Hepburn. (Mr. Hepburn, of course, sup- posedly followed. the same po- litical faith as does Mr. Reaume now, though there is a suspicion he perhaps was a bit more ma- ture.) So far as Mr. Trotter's little escapade is concerned he is bucking one of the surest things in history. The Toronto noise by-law. is a good noise-maker for a local election campaign but it has as much chance of getting by here as the writer has of becoming the owner of your daily news- paper.
