Se econ Sano y mn ne Nc ane ONION: 6 nn She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 Kjng St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Premier Robarts Picks His Team For Election t Premier Robarts appears now to have settled on the team he will lead nto the next provincial election, which is expected some time next ear. It may not be precisely the m he would like to lead, but rare indeed is the political leader who can make all his cabinet choices on the basis of personal preference. , What he has done, in essence, is to make a sharp reduction in the J . average age of his cabinet, and re- place the ministers in charge of the three most sensitive departments -- municipal affairs, labor and attorney- general. He himself relinquishes the education portfolio. The replacement of Kelso Roberts as attorney-general has been expected for some time. Mr. Roberts has been a controversial figure, particularly since the decision to investigate crime in Ontario. He did not endear him- self even to many of his friends when he publicly criticized that deci- sion and the subsequent commission hearings. Mr. Robarts could scarcely replace him while the hearings were under way. Mr. Roberts now moves, rather surprisingly, to the department of lands and forests, which usually has a northerner as its minister. It is one of the better departments, with a solid staff of experienced profes- sionals. Mr. Roberts could cite the fact that he has practised law in the North, but he has long been identified as a "Toronto lawyer", and he may meet some hostility because of that. But he should not have too much difficulty in his new post unless he tries to make radical changes in the present policies. Into the attorney-general's job goes Frederick Cass, a shrewd tough but not flamboyant man. He can speak plainly and bluntly but is not likely to be teased into indiscretion. He will have the task of reviewing the depart- ment in the light of the evidence and findings of the crime commission. 'Changes were needed in both muni- cipal affairs and labor. Wilfrid Spooner takes the former portfolio, after a successful term in lands and forests. He has a much more difficult job in municipal affairs, which badly needs reorganization and reassess- ment, but he is probably as good a choice as Mr. Robarts could make. Leslie Rowntree takes over labor, and we hope that he is prepared to do a great deal of homework; both the ideas and the procedures of this de- partment need re-examination and re- organization. It is good that Mr. Robarts has quit trying to be both premier and educa- tion minister. The department of edu- cation needs full-time attention, and we hope that the new minister, 33-year-old William Grenville Davis, will provide it with some fresh think- ing. ' Jobs And Purchasing To look after a growing work force, Ontario needs to create 60,000 jobs a year. Jobs are not created by legis- lation, but by production, sales and investment. When sales are good, pro- duction rises to meet the demand, and investment is attracted by the prospect of expansion. When a Caua- dian buys something made outside Canada, and ignores the same pro- duct, competitive in price and quality, that is made in Canada, he is in fact limiting Canadian employment. That is the simple idea behind On- ,tario's current "Trade Crusade." It 'is simple, but much more sophisti- 'eated: than the old "Buy Canadian" campaign. It is the brain-child of Ontario Economics Minister Macau- 'lay, and he explains it this way: , "We make a lot of things in Ontario 'from safety pins to atomic reactors. We are not suggesting that people do without, or that they buy things they don't need, can't afford or know to be second-rate. We are not suggesting that people stop buying imported goods. We are saying this: "As an average Canadian, you are buying $235 worth imported manu- factured goods every year. If the people of Ontario reduce that by $100 in favor of goods made here in Can- ada -- and that is not really a subs- tantial sacrifice -- you will pour back into the economy $600 mililon, and you'll help create jobs for 60,000 people." He is quite right when he says that the $100 switch would not be a subs- tantial sacrifice. While the average Canadian spends $235 a year on im- ported manufactured goods, the Briton spends only $75, the West Ger- man $60 and the American $35. The not-so-average Canadian contributes to that high annual figure, of course -- the higher per capita in the world, incidentally -- by importing expen- sive items like machines. But the big change in purchasing pattern can still be made -- and should be -- by the shopper on a weekly budget. That's all that's needed. Quiet Time In Space One of the big problems of the machine age is noise. Governments are setting aside park and wilderness areas because more and more people are seeking some place where they can enjoy blessed quiet, if only for a few days each year. And now we learn that even in the far reaches of space, quiet may be a scarce commodity. Among the comments offered by astronaut William Schirra after his six-orbit whirl in space was the obser- vation that he didn't have enough "quiet time" during his journey; there was a lot of chatter to and from She Oshawa Times Offices: Thomson Gullding, 425 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario; 640 Catheort Street, Montreal, PQ.

"This lack of quiet time in the heavens, as on earth, may be some- thing worth noting," the New York Herald-Tribune comments. 'One as- sumes that most of the messages shot back and forth between the space- man and those tracking his flight were necessary, but some of them probably fell into the realm of astro- nautical small talk--conversation ex- changed just to make sure the space vehicle was still functioning properly, and the spaceman was still going strong. Even an experienced tech- nician on earth must still get a thrill out of actually conversing with a man hurtling through the heavens in a space vehicle. "But the astronaut, apparently, has the same need for silence and repose that the rest of us do. Indeed, he may feel it even more keenly amid the splendor and the solitude of space. There, apparently, small talk seems even smaller than usual. No one yet knows what the space age will bring to mankind, but if it serves to cut down on general chatter, prattle, jawing, gabbie and babble, its bene- fits may be even greater than we realize." REPORT FROM U.K. Bookies Prepare To Battle Levy By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Marches of pro- test groups to Whitehall and the House of Commons are becom- ing so common that they are be- ginning to lose any impact they might have had on members of parliament and cabinet minis- ters. But if reports of govern- ment plans to pass legislation placing a tax on race-track bet- ting prove to be correct, there might well be a march of book- makers down to Whitehall to Parliament Square as a protest against the imposition of such a tax. There is a strong feeling in parliament that a tax on race- track betting is justifiable and would produce a_ considerable amount of revenue for the gov- ernment. There is already a tax of thirty-three and one-third per cent on football pools betting, and a tax on betting on grey- hound racing. So far, horse-race betting has escaped, but this im- munity from taxation may not last much longer. Earlier in the year, a govern- ment statement was made to the effect that it would discuss a YOUR HEALTH Potency Trouble Caused By Worry By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Why is nothing ever written about middle-aged men whose sexual potency either slows down or in some cases fails completely? Most males seem to believe that such potency is the meas- ure of a man. When his powers fail, panic sets in and unless he is a pretty steady character there is likely to be trouble. No man is going to admit to others that such has happened to him, so there is absolutely no talk between them on the subject-- N.S.W. I think you are right in your opinion. Men doubtless would be much better off if they would talk about this problem. They probably would d in propagating a great deal of misinformation, as happens when women get to talking about the menopause. But after women have been exposed to enough obvious contradictions, they finally go to a reliable source and get the right an- swers. The men, poor souls, just worry in silence. Without any question, the big- gest cause of this lack of po- tency is emotional. Only in rare instances is it physical, and even then the situation is so ob- vious that it can hardly be missed. That is why when men go to their doctors with this problem (yes, some do, but far too many don't!) the chief job is one of convincing such patients of the simple truth. It can happen any time in the 40's, 50's or 60's, and I've even known it to occur in the early 20's. The man is tired, he is absorbed in worries over money, business, his job or whatever. He may not have been eating well, or sleeping enough. Pooped and abstracted, he suddenly finds that he has "lost his potency." Or so he thinks. Once that thought pops into his head, it turns into an obses- sion. That finishes him! The more he worries, the less he re- laxes. And yet relax he must. The best "medicine" if you can persuade the man to take it, is a short vacation, perhaps only for a weekend, but soon. It should, psychologically, be so soon that he has to work his head off to get everything done in time to go. He stays so busy that he forgets to worry about lack of "'potency."' Then two or three days of just relaxing and enjoying himself puts him in a totally different mood. Without quite realizing when, why or how, he finds himself "cured" (or improved). + Obviously the longer he lets the weary worry build up, bimaer problem arows in his v ra mind. Bottling up the fear in- side is the worst thing he can do. Yet most men do just that. True there are physical fac- tors that have some weight. Lack of adequate diet is one; so is thyroid deficiency. Obesity is most decidedly another. But the biggest of all is the male trait of getting his emotions in such a knot that he can't untie them. Dear Dr. Moiner: Some reli- gious groups fast a few days a year for 24-hour periods. Do you think it is healthy for the body not to have any food or liquids for a 24-hour period?--H.B. The body ought to have wa- ter, but I see no harm in going without food that long, except in special cases. A victim of duo- denal ulcers, for example, might suffer quite a bit, 'Dear Dr. Molner: What hap- pens to the water that goes into the ears from swimming? I say it drains out through the nose. My friend says this is impos- sible.--M.M. It comes out the same way it went in. There is no open con- nection between the ear canal and tie nose. betting tax in the autumn. There has been some leakage of its plans on the subject. The Book- makers' Protection Association has been discussing reports that the government is considering a tax of five per cent, or one shill- ing in the pound, on all racing bets, in the form of a stamp duty. Under this plan, it is understood, punters on the horse races would pay an extra shill- ing on every pound bet, and the bookmakers would be respon- sible for placing the duty stamp on the betting slips. A tax of this amount, it has been estimated, would produce something like $150 million a year in revenue for the govern- ment. The Bookmakers' Protection Association is gearing itself to fight against the imposition of this tax. And it is aiming its guns.at members of parliament who are sympathetic to their cause. Jack O'Gorman, 70-year- old - Australian - born national president of the association, claims that it has the support of around 60 members of par- liament, and that these, and others, will be thoroghly lobbied before parliament sits again. Mr. O'Gorman said: "We have always known that ; some attempt would be made to tax betting. We will fight it, and what I want to see is a solid front' among all our 10,000 mem- bers to oppose any attempts to tax horse race bets." Mr. O'Gorman scoffed at the figure of $150 million which had been suggested as the possible government revenue from sucn a tax. He said: "In my opinion the Chancellor would get nothing like that. A tax would kill interest in racing, and -- let's face it -- betting is the backbone of racing. It would also kill the levy which is being made on bookmakers chrough the Racehorse Levy Board." This levy, collected by the board from bookmakers in pro- portion to the total turnover, in their businesses, is expected to produce $12 million next year, and a somewhat similar sum in future years. This money is to go to the general improvement of breeding, improve amenities at race courses and increase prize money at race meetings. While there has been no offi- cial government statement on the proposed horse race betting tax, there are good grounds for believing that there will be leg- islation covering it at the next session of parliament -- and the lobbying of members and lodg- ing of protests by the BPA will then begin in real earnest. BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Mitchell's Drug Store, founded by T. B. Mitchell, celebrated 50 years of business in Oshawa. Jack Cooke, president of the Oshawa Kinsmen Club, an nounced the club's decision to plan a civic stadium north of the Oshawa Arena. E. A. Lovell was named chair- man of a new finance and pro- perty committee of the Com- munity Recreation Association. The annual South Ontario Plowing Match, held in Picker- ing Township, drew a crowd of 1500 persons. Thirteen-year-oid Donald Dunkeld, Claremont, youngest competitor in the match, placed second in his class. Clifford Palmer and Miss Kay Hopkins, of Oshawa, were elec- ted president and _ secretary treasurer respectively, of the Central Ontario Badminton As- sociation for the 1947-48 season. R. S. McLaughlin was elected honorary president of the On- tario Curling Association at the association's 74th annual session. Len Coulson was named chair. the man of the 1947 annual Kiwanis Carnival. A total of 1847 infants and pre - school children received checkup or treatment during the year at Oshawa's well-baby clinic atthe Legion Hall. The 30-foot widening of the north half of Ritson road south in preparation for opening of the new Queen Elizabeth Way was nearing completion. A decision was made at a council committee meeting to present suitably engraved plaques on the city's behalf to war veterans. The 19th anual convention of the Bay of Quinte Conference Young People's Union was open- ed in Oshawa with Dr. Manson Doyle, DD, of Toronto, the theme speaker. The year's high level of whoop- ing cough in the city, 90 cases for the first niné months, fol- lowed a_ three-year cyclical trend which had prevailed over a 10 - year period, Board of records showed.

OTTAWA REPORT Way To Recognize , National Service ' By PATRICK NICHOLSON - OTTAWA--Two steps to make manifest Canada's sovereignty were prominent among the pro- posals announced in the Throne Speech at the opening of: this session of Parliament. First, the Governor General told his audience in the Senate Chamber, the government will seek agreement of the provin- cial governments to steps in- tended to "repatriate" the con- stitution of Canada. Second, the government will invite the prov- inces to a conference "for. con- sultation regarding the choice of a national flag and other na- tional symbols". It is being suggested here that the symbols of nationality com- prise primarily a flag, and an- them, and decorations and med- als with which a country can reward its nationals and others, , for special services. This Do- minion - Provincial conference therefore may, it is believed here, be asked to study and make recommendations con- cerning that stillborn glory, the Canada Medal. OUR LONE SHAME This column has long been pointing out the strange anom- aly of Canada's position in the matter of decorations and med- Ry als, Through a somewhat naive confusion of thought, in which hereditary titles were lumped: with medals, earlier govern- ments have said that because Canadians did not want the for- mer, they could not have the latter either. And since the Ca- nadian government neither would nor could confer a medal upon a Canadian, nor upon the citizen of a fi country, it was forced to show consistency © by forbidding Canadians to ac- cept any similar honor from a foreign state. ~ : This leads to various. embar- rassments, As this column has pointed out, Canada alone among the senior nations of the world cannot say "thank you" to foreigners who serve us -- such, for example, as honorary consuls in foreign ports. Then too, when the head of a foreign state tries to honor Canada, just as he would honor any other country, by conferring decora- tions on prominent Canadians, he is insultingly told "to take those baubles away home with him'--as some bumptious little jack-in-office recently told the president of Iceland, visiting our bluntly inhospitable capital. But despite this official ban, many. Canadians nevertheless GALLUP POLL Reasons For Attitudes Towards B THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION The unfavorable image Mr. Real Caouette has created among 51 per cent of the vot- ing public who have heard of him is keyed mainly to the be- lief that he has radical and dictator qualities, and to a dis- like of his admiration for Hitler and Mussolini. Others are criti- cal of him because they feel he is not qualified to be a leader, and that he is inclined to 'all talk and no action". Complaints are frequent that he is a rab- ble rouser, and that his only concern is for Quebec. Among the 22 per cent of these voters who report favor- able impressions of Mr. Caouette, admiration is ex- pressed for his qualities as a speaker, for his sincerity, and for his leadership qualities. Ap- proval for the Social Credit program is high in this seg- ment of the electorate, Having established that 60 per cent of the voters had heard or read something of Mr. Caouette, Gallup Poll reporters asked those who expressed fav- orable or unfavorable impres- sions of him, why they held their opinions, . Reasons given by the 51 per cent who have unfavorable re- actions to Mr. Caouette fall into the following main groups. ~ He is too radical; he's a fanatic .......00- 21 per cent Too much of a dictator; too many fascist ideas; don't like his ideas on Hitler and Mus- solini 18 per cent. He's not qualified for the job; not a leader; unstable; Socred Deputy just out for himself; not good for the country .. 14 per cent Just talks a lot; all talk--no 12 per cent. Don't like the Social Credit Party, platform or policies 8 per cent. He is dangerous; a rabble rouser; leads the masses, 8 per cent. Other reasons (Too commu- nistic; promises too much; @ conscientious objector; out for Quebec only; can't get along with Mr. Thompson, R - 16 per cent . 9 per cent. 06 per cent. (Some gave more than one reason.) Among the 22 per cent who report favorable attitudes to Mr. Caouette, reasons for ap- proval line up in strength as follows: Like his program; his ideas; Social Credit has a g 27 per cent. leader; _ bril- it ++e+.13 per cent He is a good speaker and a powerful one .... 12 per cent He seems to be a good man; sincere .......... 12 per cent It's good to have a strong, dynamic third party 9 per cent. He works for the people--the common man ..... 8 per cent Like his economic theories; his monetary policy, 5 per cent. Other. reasons (His record in Quebec; he helps the farm- ers, etc.) .....+++ 10 per cent Can't say why .. 11 per cent Total ....+-+-2.- 107 per cent (Some gave more than one reason.) WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Moose Jaw Times - Herald: Girls unless you want to go to the Yukon or the Northwest Territories, there is no other area of Canada better than Sas- katchewan, if you would like to snare a husband..There are 108 men to every 100 females here on the Prairies, and your chances are just a little better than in Alberta, where there are 107 males. ' The Dominion Bureau of Stat- istics, current weekly bulletin gives a survey by the Census Bureau, which shows there are 102 males for every 100 females in Canada. There is a better chance to catch a husband in the rural areas than in- urban areas, this is explained as be- ing due to the fact that the fe- males leave the farms for the employment opportunities in the urban centres. Of the 174 incorporated cities, towns and villages of 10,000 and over for which 1961 sex ratios are shown in the report, only 66 had an excess of males. Only two of the 15 largest cities, Ed- monton and Calgary with a ratio of 101 each, had an excess of males. The other cities had ra- tios ranging between Quebec City's 88 and Halifax's 99. Ottawa Journal -- President Eamon de Valera said on his 80'h birthday that if he had his life to live over he would be a teacher. This is a change from. the usual observation that a man would not wish for anything bet- ter than the life he has had, with or without smoking. -- Eamon de Valera has known plots and counter-plots, gunfire in the night and a prison cell, the successes and disappoint- ments of a leader of a country. Yet, looking back, he feels it would have been splendid "to get to know things yourself and then teach them 'to other people. Adventure is not only in con- flict, accomplishment is more than success in public life- The president could have quoted Ci- cero who asked what better gift could be offered a nation than to teach and instruct its youth. Brantford Expositor -- It's a disturbing thought that Russia could wipe us out without firing a shot -- merely by poisoning the glue on the trading stamps. TORONTO STAR: "Liberal- ism" is one of the most abused terms in the vocabulary of politics. But few people can have had such a painful intro- duction to the word as those of the remote Arab kingdom of Yemen. After the revolution in Yemen, the leaders ofthe coup used the official radio to introduce them- selves to' the public. They were, they said, a "liberal revolution- ary" army group and they were out to get rid of tyranny. Then they issued their first "liberal" decree: Anyone found on the streets after the broad- cast woyld be shot. KINGSTON WHIG-STANDARD: In their school system the British still insist upon find- ing out what pupils can do and then making them do it. The Americans -- and the Canadians who have copied the Americans -- try to teach everybody every- thing and in the process simply prove that we all have our shortcomings and are all fail- ures in some endeavors. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct. 29, 1962 ..° Prices crashed on the New- York Stock Exchange 23 years ago today--in 1929 --the "black Tuesday" that set a record of 16,410,000 shares sold that still stands. The worst and longest de- pression in history followed the crash, that sent many from riches to rags but also started a train of legislation on trade practices aimed at prevention of any recur- rence. 1899--The first Canadian contingent of troops left to fight in the Boer War in South Africa. head of the Vatican state. Parliament Hill's lesser known - frequenters has accepted knighthoods from France, Bel- gium, Netherlands and Greece. Many years ago, before Mac- kenzie King created and mur. dered the Canada Medal, i suggested by the head of vernment that an "Order t. Lawrence" should be ated for the rewarding of Cana- dians who have rendered extra special service, beyond the nor- mal call of duty. Such an order might have perhaps ranks, plus a cross of valor. This would provide for the rec- ognition of special services to the Canadian nation by all Ca- nadians under any circum- stances including mortal dan- ger. But it might yet avoid, if Canadians so desire, the be- stowal of titles of distinction, while of course no question of ecto gaged distinction would arise.
