She Oshawa Sunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Feinberg Ignores Facts In Church Accusations The bleating of Rabbi Abraham Feinberg, who seems to spend a great deal more time on his job as vice- president of the Canadian Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament than on rabbinical duties, are becoming tire- some. His latest outburst in an ill- tempered and ill-judged of religious "Jeaders. He told the London. branch of the CCND that the most disheart- ening note in the final outcome of the Cuban crisis was the unbroken silence of church and synagogue. He declared: "While the world was almost burned to a cinder, the spokesmen of God's truth and law didn't even fiddle, they faddled." That charge is simply not true. If Rabbi Feinberg does not know it is untrue, then he is living in his own little world, completely shut off from outside communication, On the very first day of the crisis, Pope John issued a clear and ringing call for peaceful settlement of the Cuban dispute. He spoke for the Roman Catholic Church -- and with no fiddling or faddling. During the next few days there were statements from other churchmen of various denominations; they were not so widely publicized as the Papal appeal, perhaps, but that is understandable because of the different structure of the churches. No rabbi can speak for all Jewry, but a great many of them made their opinions known. And in churches, temples and synagogues all over the land, congregations were listening to individual interpretations and expositions. : Did Rabbi Feinberg choose to ignore the evidence? If so, one must wonder why. Rabbi Feinberg cannot seriously believe that only he and his noisy little group look with horror on the possibility of nuclear war. He is at liberty to express whatever opinion he wishes, of course, but before he launches into his hysterical diatribes -- and again one must wonder about these public demonstrations -- he should at least check his facts. He might also give some thought to the possibility that to many people there are worse things than death. Case Against Poisons It is not often we recommend a particular book to the readers of these columns, but we gladly do so now. The book is "Silent Spring", by the American author-biologist Rachel Car- son, and published by Thomas Allen, Toronto. It is a book that shouid be in every home in the country. Justice William 0. Douglas of the U.S. Sup- reme Court has called it "the most important chronicle of this century for the human race." Miss Carson's speciality has been the sea. Her superb "The Sea Around Us" was a best-seller some years ago. In "Silent Spring", which appeared first in the New Yorker magazine, her theme is the menace of insecticides: Man's power of destruction is now_so great that, some coming Spring, the birds and the bees may be extinct and, to quote Justice Douglas again, "there may be no fish to cause a swirl on the smooth waters of our lakes." Science has given man the power to alter the nature of the world. Our lethal inventions have contaminated the air, the earth and the waters. And while we worry about such things as fallout, we employ "useful" chemicals with such ignorance and lack of dis- crimination that we make talk about radiation and Strontium 90 seem academic. - Miss Carson builds her case against indiscriminate use of chemical pesti- cides calmly and factually. There is no hysteria. It is the presentation of a scientist who also has a mastery of language. Indeed, the lack of theatrics increases the mounting horror as she presents her evidence. The chemicals we use are throwing the balance of nature out of kilter; the. worm absorbs a weed killer; a bird eats the worm and dies; because the bird is dead, insects increase; we use chemicals to kill the insects; more birds die and there are more insects; chemicals are washed into streams; the fish die, and so do the birds and creatures that live on the fish. So goes the deadly cycle -- and man can be the ultimate victim. Economic Examinations In the Throne Speech there was a mention of an economic council which the federal government proposed to establish. The council presumably would keep a constant and searching eye on what is happening, what is likely to happen and what should happen to the economy. There is a need for such a continu- ing examination. In many respects the report of the Gordon Royal Commis- sion that examined Canada's economic prospects is already outdated, just a few years after it was produced. To carry out the examination is an action of prudence and far-sighted- ness, and not one born of. fear or des- peration. Such an action, for example, is being taken by the Australian gov- ernment, which has announced that a special committee will inquire into the Australian economy, to draw up a chart of Australia's economic poten- tial which would show not only the extent of the country's resources and capabilities but also their limitations.

Other Editors' Views WHY SOVIETS HATE PEACE CORPS (From a report by Sargent Shriver, director of peace corps) The Soviets are apopletic about the peace corps for good reason. They are unable to develop the equivalent of our volunteers. They may well be able to gather together technicians for export. But these are automatons, unable to speak anything but official Kremlin cliches. We stand ready to match our volunteers against any- thing the Soviet may concoct. We doubt that the challenge will be accepted. The Soviet can export many things. It cannot export a whole man because it does not produce him. MODERN MAP OF GREAT BRITAIN REPORT FROM U.K. Euromart Centre Brighton Vision By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times BRIGHTON, Sussex -- The civic leaders of Brighton, Eng- land's south coast holiday re- sort, have resolved to make it the first as well as the leading Continental city in Britain in the event of this country join- ing the European Common Mar- ket.. They are convinced in their own minds that Britain will join. In fact, as soon as nege- tiations began between the Brit- ish government and the Com- mon Market Six the civic «u- thorities set up a special com- mittee to investigate ways and means whereby Brighton could take full advantage of the closer contacts with Europe. This com- mittee has now presented its recommendations, arfd they are far-reaching and ambitious. The committee's report envis- ages a Brighton to which the business men of all the Com- mon Market countries would come for their conference and for holidays. Towards this end, YOUR HEALTH Artery Hardening Affects Memory By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My mothers memory is becoming very poor. She is 62. The doctor has diag- nosed it as blood cholesterol "senilis," and wants her placed in a state institution for treat- ment. We do not wish to-do this as she is not insane, just quite for- getful. Wouldn't it be possible by diet and medication to treat her at home? Will treatment cause her to recover from his type of 'sickness? How long would it take?--E.E.A. The cholesterol is an indica- tion of what has been occurring, and changing its level isn't cal- culated to undo previous dam- age. ie all probability severe hard- ening of the arteries has taken place in the brain, impairing memory. To be sure, there may be some other condition, too, and I would have no way of knowing about that, but.I don't think it matters much so far as your basic question is concerned. Hardened arteries won't '"'un- harden." There may be mo- ments in which your mother's memory may be clear, but I re- gret to say that there is no in- dication that either medication or diet of any kind can restore memory lost from such causes. You say your doctor "wants" her placed in a state institution- Does he really, or has he simply suggested it? This is something you should talk over with him very frankly. It isn't a matter of being "'in- sane." It is a very practical question of whether she is. co- operative and can adjust to family living. There are people (both old and young) who are mentally ill in that sense, yet are tractable and can be cared for safely at home. There are others, and here we must think of old people, whose trouble is sheer forget- fulness, but they cannot be safely kept at home unless they are watched every minute. They may turn on a gas stove and forget to light it. Or scald themselves. in a bathtub be- cause they forget to turn off the water,-or do any number of tragic things. Doctors dread leaving undone any possible step to avert hav- ing such things happen. Your mother, at 62, has encountered this trouble earlier than usual, but it does happen at times and when it does, we must look at the facts clearly. If your mother can be kept at home without endangering her- self or others, by all means let her stay. But if your doctor sees danger, then listen'to him. He doesn't urge an institution with- out having good reason to do so--for there is no oversupply of beds, and you may well find -Regiment that you have a long waiting period before one is available. Your doctor may have been thinking of that, too, you know. Dear Dr. Molner: I have a growth on the back of my hand near the base of the thumb, about the size of an egg and still growing. It has been there about three or four years.-- J.W.L. A lump this size that is still growing should be examined by your doctor. It might be a ganglion (tendon cyst) but I am not familiar with one growing to egg size. Surgical removal probably will be necessary. Dr. Molner: Short of cutting off my head, isn't there any- thing I can. do about the awful facial whiskers I'm sprouting? Wouldn't, female hormones help --Jane No, M'am, I don't think they would help and definitely do not recommend them (except, of course, in cases in which some deep - seated hérmonial imbal- ance is found), Even more do I discourage cutting off your head! Shaving the "awful facial whiskers" is entirely feasible but, of course, a nuisance. De- pilatory creams may solve the problem for you. Or for perma- nent removal, have 'the roots destroyed by electric needle. The last is a tedious task, I ad- mit, but effective. menage sneer a grander and brighter Brighton is envisaged. It is proposed to erect five magnificent hotels which will be equal to the very best to be found in Europe. There will be even more enter- tainment facilities, bigger shops and new and better-equipped conference halls with their an- cillary facilities. CHANGE OF FACE This might mean a_ great change, -not only in the face of Brighton, but also in its charac- ter. It might become less of a place to which tens of thousands of trippers from London and the provinces come for a_ jolly, carefree holiday outing. Members of the press, at a conference with the committee, put this point before its mem- bers, but did not receive very specific answers. It. seemed to be rather a delicate question, but it seems certain that if Brighton's dream of being a continental centre is realized, certainly the exuberant type of trippers would be sternly dis- couraged, and the practice of changing into bathing costumes on the open beach would be frowned upon more than is the case at present. Chairman of fhe council's spe- cial committee is Councillor Ronald, Bates. He told the press conference that if Brighton were to become the continental city for which it was ideally suited from a geographical standpoint, it must be prepared to give leadership in facilities and amenities to the whole hotel in- dustry of the United Kingdom. Among the recommendations made to the municipal council by the committee are the fol- lowing: Five-star accommodation -and the continued 'development of the hotel industry on continental lines; Improved service for foreign visitors in hotels and shops, the staffs of which should be re- quired to speak several foreign languages; A multi-lingual information centre and immediate provision of instantaneous _ translation equipment for conferences; More European air services from Gatwick and greater use of an enlarged airport at Shore- ham; The establishment of helicop- ter services between Brighton and the continent; Encouragement of _ inter- national news services to open permanent offices in Brighton; Finally, the spending of more money on publicity. That is the plan which the committee believes will put Brighton on the Common Mar- ket map. Now it remains for the council what to do about the various recommendations, BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO A Junior Chamber of Com- merce was planned for Oshawa at an organization meeting held at Adelaide House. Recognizing and paying tri- bute to the appointment of Harry L, Wallace as Grand Senior Warden of the Grand Lodge, members of Cedar Lodge, AF and AM, No 270, presented aim with a. set of dress regalia for his new office. The first of five Sherman tanks to form part of the Ontario establishment here was delivered to the Regiment from Camp Borden. A new $5000 fire truck was purchased by Brougham in Pick- ering Township, through a com- munity effort. The chlorinating and filtering unit installed at Ritson school swimming pool cost a total of $4555. Oshawa Board of Education requested the sum of $700,000 to erect and equip the proposed new collegiate on the Bishop Bethune site. Ben Fallman, coach and pre- sident of the Oshawa Shamrock Athletic Club, was elected 2nd vice-president of the Central Ontario Branch of the Amateur Athletic Union. Miss Margaret Marshall of, Toronto, better known as "'Miss Canada', who made a brief ap- pearance at the Oshawa Kiwan- is Carnival, was officially wel- comed to the city by Mayor Frank McCallum. D. Ross, H. A. Myers, C. W. Edgar, G. J. Alpin, and J. Gra- ham, of the Bell Telephone Com- pany, were awarded safe driving awards by the Ontario Safety League. An increase of one and one- half cents to 17% cents a quart was announced in the retail price of milk here. The Oshawa Camera Club held its first Print Night of the sea- son, when 35 prints or more were shown by its members. Ed Mothersill, Charles Johnson, Charles Cooper, W. V. Hartman and G. Mepstead were awarded Print honors. OTTAWA REPORT Caouette Reveals Quebec Strength By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Real Caouette, the coleader of the Social Credit Party, has established his niche as one of the most controversial politicians in Canada. Here in Ottawa we see the usual yard- sticks of his effectiveness: he receives a lot of critical refer- ences from his opponents, some . of whom stretch his words be- yond normal elasticity for the purpose of attempting to smear him. We have heard, for ex- ample, misquotations of his re- marks about Hitler and Musso- lini by rival politicians trying to dub him -- unjustifiably--as a Fascist. In fact the fast-talking Social Credit missionary from Rouyn, Quebec, has not yet sei his sights above winning converts within his own province, But his enemies rather than his follow- ers have given him nation-wide prominence. This has recently been rein- forced by a poll taken by the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion, which asked a cross- Canada sampling of Canadians bog they think of Mr. Caou- ette. THE UNKNOWN STAR The first question was whether the interviewee "hap- pens to have heard or read any- QUEEN'S PARK thing about" Real Caouette. Not Rowntree Given Hot Cabinet Seat BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There is one very hot seat in the government here It is a seat so hot as to ma'e even the toughest politician blanch. It is a job in which you prac- tically can't win, No matter what you do some body pretty well is going to be displeased. Therefore give the Hon. H. Leslie Rowntree marks for cour- age ... or rashness. For Mr. Rowntree is Ontario's new Minister of Labor. UNDER GUN Mr. Rowntree undoubtedly was told to take on the job, and being a good party man agreed without too much pro- test. In his case he actually is tak- ing on more than normal trou- le. For his riding of York West is highly industrialized. A great many of the voters are working men. But there also are a large number of industri- alists -- who presumably not only vote but put up campaign funds. So the new minister is under the gun from both sides. NOT BULLIED? Mr. Rowntree undoubtedly is one of the best-equipped men in the government to live with a situation such as this. On the surface, at least, he has always appeared as bold and relatively unafraid, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 5, 1 The gunpowder plot to blow up the British Houses of Parliament and kill King James 1 failed 357 years ago today--1605. A number of Roman Catholics planned to destroy Parliament, in pro- test to repressive measures against their faith, a' its opening on Nov. 5. But on the day before Guy Fawkes was found in the cellars with 36 barrels of gunpowder which he planned to touch off. The incident is com- memorated annually with bonfires and fireworks on Guy Fawkes day. 1914--Britain declared war on Turkey. 1930--Sinclair Lewis was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. He also has shown evidences of a mind of his own and the capacity to express it quite bluntly In other words he is one who it appears will not be bullied. And this can stand him--and the province--in good stead in this important portfolio. CAN HELP Also important, the minister has shown indications of a con- siderable intelligence. And this means that he could _Start bringing about some im- provement in our industrial re- lations. a : No minister of government is going to bring new progress and order into this field overnight. There is little chance that anyone can come up with a magic formula which will re. move labor - management con- flict and channel it into a con- structive rather than destructive path. Like democracy itself, it seems that this can only grow through give and take and the accompanying stresses. But an intelligent. minister.can help--and Mr. Rowntree could be such a man. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM No person is tall enough to keep his feet on the ground when he has his head in the clouds. An old man says young folks ought to. make the best of life ---- it gets the best of them. The kind of lying that pays the biggest dividends is that used in flattering people. Why is it that although a per- son has two ears and only one tongue, he tires of listening much quicker than he does of talking? "Africans are difficult to understand," says a big-game hunter. This is doubtless due to their being people. An unhappy childhood may be better than no childhood at all, but probably not much, better. There frequently arises the difficult problem of trying to decide which would cost less: Telling the truth, or hiring a lawyer. surprisingly two in Canadians replied No, ingly, one in every four beckers reptied No. He to be least widely known tario, where only 53 per had heard of him. On 'the nation-wide basis, those who said they had of Mr, Caouette, 27 per cent no opinion, 22 per cent pressed their attitude to him favorable, and 51 per cent' unfavorable in their reaction. That is the superficial What is truly significant is that these figures suggest that Mr. Caouette is running well ahead of his party in popularity In the province of Qu example, the election of June showed 40 per cent of voters supporting the Liberals, 30 per cent supporting the Con- servatives and only 26 per cent backing Social Credit candi- dates. Yet this recent poll shows that 39 per cent of | are now favorably disposed to- wards Mr. Caouette--s»o would presumably vote for his follow- ers in an election--while a number disapprove of him, and the balance are undecided. These. figures, allowing for a split between Conservatives and Liberals in' the onpesiet wae gest that Social Credit id capture a majority of the 75 - constituencies in the province of Quebec in a federal election held today. But in June, that party won only 26 of those 75 seats. These figures therefore sug- gest that Mr. Caouette is run- ing ahead of his party in pop- ularity, and also that the Social Credit wave is mounting m Quebec. THE MAN AND THE PARTY Such discrepancies between a leader and his party are com- mon in assessing popularity in politics. We see it, for example, in the latest ratings of Prime Minister Diefenbaker and the Conservative party. While sup- port for the party has dropped to one voter in every three, al- most as many voters now ap- prove of the way the prime minister is handling his job as the number who express their disapproval. In actual figures, 33 per cent of the voters support his party, while 47 per cent of those with an opinion consider that he is doing a good job. Thus Mr. Diefenbaker is today, as has always been the case, run- ning well ahead of his party in popular esteem, These figures indicate the knife-edge of balance now gov- erning our federal politics, with the Conservatives forming the largest party in our House of Commons yet lacking an over- all majority. Heber Smith, the Progressive Conservative MP from Barrie, has just pointed out another indication of this narrow balance. A very few votes transferred to the Con- servative candidates in Ontario in the June polling would have given that party a majority in the House. Similarly, it H not have needed a great num! of votes strategically placed in Quebec to have given the Lib- eral party the largest number of seats in the House.
