She Oshawa Cimes 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario" oe Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Questionable Decision 'By Broadcast Governors The ruling by the Boatd of Broad- east' Governors that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation must carry the Grey Cup telecast, complete with. commercials, originated by the private CTV network, confirms two opinions: There must be a clarification of the duties, functions and powers of the BBG; and there is a clear and urgent need for a shakeup in the members of the BBG. The CBC quite rightly is appealing the Board's decision, which makes the CBC simply a sales adjunct of the private network. It is incredible that the members of the Board did not realize this when they made the decision; we must assume, then, that they knew exactly what they were doing and went ahead and did it any- way. This fits into a pattern of BBG action, beginning with the highly controversial award of the private TV channel in Toronto to a group headed by a man who later ran as a Conser- vative candidate; then there was the keying of the private network to what Toronto station; and now -- surprise, surprise! -- the private network is handed CBC facilities on a platter. The only excuse given by the BBG for this piece of arrant nonsense is that "public interest" must be served, It is a matter of vital public interest, apparently, that the widest possible audience be obtained for a football game played between two teams coached by Americans and largely made up of Americans. O Canada! There was no reason why the BBG should have meddled at all in the squabble between the CBC and the private network. One must wonder how much pressure was put on the BBG, from the private side, to force the CBC into a deal, and thereby enable the private network to boast to commercial sponsors that it could provide "a hundred per cent cover- age." Enough doubt has now been created about Board policy by its present members to justify demands for a complete overhaul of its personnel. Sad Day For Liberals It is said that the spirits of great parliamentarians linger after death in the halls and chambers which they loved and where they labored while living. If that is so, there must have been many a ghostly tear shed as the shades of Laurier and other great Liberals of the past watched the per- formance of their successors in the Commons last week. Not even the antics of Mackenzie King in the middle-Twenties provided such an irresponsible display as that put on by Lester Pearson and his colleagues when they voted for a Social Credit funny-money sub-amendment. Mr. Pearson and his crew made no bones about the reason for their action. They will do anything to force another election; they have convinced themselves -- but not many other people -- that they can win enough seats in another election to form the government themselves. Their naked hunger for power is so great that they are obviously to forget all about Liberal principle to achieve their end. The Social. Credit sub-amendment called for something called "debt-free money". The Social Creditists cannot explain clearly what they mean by debt-free money, but one gathers that it involves the printing of vast quan- tities of bills, to be handed out in such quantities that a Canadian dollar would quickly become slightly more valuable than a sheet of toilet paper. The Liberals admitted that they did not understand the sub-amend- ment. But that did not matter. They have been making windy speeches about "financial responsibility". But these were forgotten when they saw an opportunity to create even more political instability than exists at.the present. So in high glee, they voted for a motion that, even if they did not understand, they strongly sus- pected amounted to financial irres- posibility of the worst kind. 'How true it is that. we live in a vacuum, as far as political leadership is concerned! : India's Big Decision Prime Minister Nehru's demotion of his favorite minister, V. K. Krishna Menon, is a turn-around that may have greater importance than appears on the surface, the Vancouver Sun observes. At first sight it appears no more than the dismissal of a defence minister who failed in his job. India's defences are two wars old. Rather late in the day a desperate attempt is being made to modernize an army with a stout fighting heart to meet an enemy with the advantage of every modern military device. It should be also remembered, how- ever, that Mr. Menon has been the friend of the Communists, the critic of the West. The Sun wonders: Could it be that Mr. Nehru, the scales at last falling from his eyes, has learned the bitter futility of neutralism, knows at last that India's real friends are the Western democracies? The newspaper Indian Express has editorially noted that so far only the United States, Britain, West Ger- many and Malaya have expressed sup- port of India in the struggle with Red \China.

But the answer to the question was obvious. India's friends are the de- mocratic nations. They have always been avilable. Rebuffed and ill-treated even while Mr. Menon's policy sought friends in Moscow and Peking, they stand ready because India's fight is theirs. But it's true India has alienated many potential friends and allies. It's a sharp comedown for the nation that hoped to lead the neutrals. Most important of the alienated nations is Pakistan, lately needling New Delhi by a purring relationship with Red China. When the first hint of trouble arose between India and China, then if ever was the time for New Delhi and Karachi to compose their Kash- mir quarrel and unite against the growing Communist threat to all Asia, { It is not too late for this to happen, the Sun thinks. The newly-enlightened Mr. Nehru may now find it expedient to drop his neutral stance and enter the South Asia Treaty Organization. Pakistan should help this process by stopping its cuddling up to Peking -- _which is like cuddling up to a boa constrictor. In the long run it will get no advantages there. Perhaps the best service Canadian statesmen can offer India in its hour of crisis is quietly to undertake, in conjunction with Britain and the U.S., a reconciliation between India and Pakistan.

Our lives are evidence of the thoughts we think and the company we keep, REPORT FROM U.K. Teacher Exchange Program Widened By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- For many years now there has been a system of teacher exchanges within the Commonwealth, in which Can. ada has taken an important part. Many hundreds of Cana- dian teachers have spent a year teaching in Britain, while Brit- ish teachers have exchanged places with them in schools in Canada. In more recent years, the scheme has been extended to provide teacher exchanges with Australia, New Zealand and the United States. This has been of mutual benefit to the countries taking part in the scheme, and to the teachers who took advantage of it. This year,,a new type of teacher exchange is being de- veloped by the British ministry of education. It is hoped to have it in operation next year. And YOUR HEALTH - Queries Handling Of Wild Animals By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Some chil- dren and I recently discussed the danger of handling wild ani- mals after they are dead. I ex- plained that many times these animals have diseases. Then one child asked about picking up game that a hunter kills. How does he know if it is diseased? I have heard that wild rabbits should be handled with gloves so as not to pick up tularemia. --Mrs, L.D. Rabbit fever--or tularemia-- fs caused by a germ which in- fects rabbits and a variety of rodents. It can cause illness and- fever in human beings if they acquire the germ. (It is trans- mitted from one animal to an- other by insects which bate.) Rabbit stew is safe to eat, or other forms of cooked rabbit, because heat destroys the germ --just as the mild heating of milk in pasteurization destroys dangerous germs if they hap- pen to be present. The danger from tularemia is in handling rabbits before they have been cooked. There is no way of telling whether a rabbit has this germ in its blood. The safe rule is to make sure the germ cannot enter your bloodstream. Therefore the use of gloves while skinning a rab- bit is a required precaution. Notice that I said the germ is transmitted by insects that bite. It doesn't take a large amount of the germ to start trouble. Gloves protect the hands from picking up the germ--if it, is present--through some _ insigni- ficant cut or scrach which may be no more noticeable than an insect's bite. There is also the risk of some trivial wound by your_knife, or puncturing or scratching the skin by the bone. I certainly don't want to make children (or anyone else) unduly afraid of animals. I don't know as I'd say that wild animals "often" have diseases that are dangerous to people, but sometimes they do. Sy» know the risks and be careful. In the wildlife range, I think it's wise to teach children never to,pick up dead birds. Senop them up on a shovel or some- thing. They often carry lice or other insects, And after ail, the kind of dead bird you find in the yard often has been a sick bird. Bears and some other ani- mals that live at least in part on meat (or meat scraps, or garbage) can carry trichinosis, the disease that can come from pigs if the pork is not thoroughly cooked. (Beef doesn't have it, because cows don't eat meat, and the meat carries the infec- tion.) Many wild animals, as well as domestic dogs, can carry rabies. Maybe not often, but a lifetime of being careful is better than being exposed just once to that disease. (Bats, too, can carry rabies.) So let's not be overly scared --just smart enough to be care- ful. Dear Dr. Molner: Please ex- plain the difference between a cyst and a tumor.--C, G. A cyst is a sac which fills with fluid or semi-fluid material, such as a small gland which be- comes plugged and cannot dis- charge. the substances it se- cretes. A tumor, on the other hand, is a growth, The simplest I can think of is a wart. A com- mon cyst is of the sebaceous, or oily skin glands. A common tumor, in women, is the fibroid tumor of the uterus. There are also ovarian cysts. Dear Dr. Molner: On the rec- ord of my operation it says "empyema of the gallbladder with 'obstruction and cholecys- tectomy." Would you break it down in simple words? --Mrs. The obstruction is clear enough--the outlet was p'ugged, doubtless by a stone or stones. "Empyema" means pus. forma- tion, which is not untike'y in such cases, of course, and "cholecystectomy" means _ re- -Moval of the gallbladder. when it begins to function, Ma- demoiselle from Paris, Senor and Senorita from Madrid, Herr from Vienna and Fraulein from West Germany will be coming to London to take over classes in the London secondary schools, Each of them will be teaching his or her own lan. guage to boys and girls already learning French, German or Spanish. SWAPPING JOBS "Swapping" jobs with them in this new type of teacher ex. change will be a number of teachers from the London sec- ondary schools. They will be given, on a year's exchange, positions in schools in France, Germany, Spain and Austria, And their tasks there will be the teaching to the boys and girls of these countries English language and literature. There are special require- ments, however, before teach- ers can be accepted for this spe- cial type of exchange. These teachers who wish to take ad- vantage of this interchange scheme with continental teach. ers must be graduates with spe. cidlist standing in the language of the country in which they hope to teach for a year. Nor. mally, there is an upper age limit of 45 for applicants. BROADENS EXPERIENCE A spokesman for the London County Council, which is spon- soring the new ex'change scheme, said: "Service in schools abroad is not only valuable to the teach- ers themselves: in broadening their experience, but also to their pupils when they return, We expect there will be quite a rush of applicants for these ex- change positions." In addition to this "swap" scheme, there are other oppor- tunities for English teachers to teach in Europe. There are as- sistantships available in Bel- gium, Italy, Switzerland and Tunisia as well'as in France, Germany, Spain and Austria, for those who are already teach- ing but who wish to specialize in modern languages. Those taking part have to give in- formal conversation classes. Also available to London teachers are single-term ap- pointments in Germany. There is really no limit to the possibil- ities of the scheme. London County Council is prepared to consider applications from Lon. don teachers desirous of "'swap- ping" jobs with teachers in countries other' than those named above, which are al. ready on the approved list. BY-GONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO Elementary Flying Training School, Oshawa, was presented with the new Air Marshall's efficiency pennant in recogni- tion of high standards of train- ing and personal efficiency. Richard Branton was re-elect- ed president of the Oshawa Horticultural Society. F. 0. Kirby and Joseph Gilson were elected Ist and 2nd vice-presi- dents respectively. The Canadian Order of For- esters closed the season with a successful banquet. The Axtell Cup was presented to Victor's softball team, winners of the Foresters' League champion- ship by Mrs. Charles Fergu- son of Court Oshawa. Members of Oshawa Branch 43, Canadian Legion, together with General Motors War Vet- rans and Polish. War Veterans, paraded to Albert Street United Church for the annual Remem. brance Day service, conducted by E. D. Jones, student pastor of the church. At its inaugural meeting, Wil- liam Noble was elected presi- dent of the newly formed Osh- awa District Labor Council, while Finley Dafoe was elected vice-president. The Oshawa Blood Donor Clinic stood sixth of Ontario cities in the number of October donations with a total of 939. Oshawa Kiwanis Club played hosts to the Junior Farmers of the Oshawa Fair on the occa- sion of Junior Farmers' Night. President of the Kiwanis Club Keith Gahan, E, W. Webber, president of the South On. tario Agricultural Society, J. A. Carroll and F. Campbell spoke briefly. M. McIntyre Hood, secretary to Premier Gordon D. Conant, addressed the Oshawa Kinsmen Club at its annual Military Night meeting. Earle Sharp was again named Commodore of the Oshawa Yacht Club for the '1943 season with Don Ross as Rear Commo- dore. S. J. Collacutt was named president for another term. ' The city 1943 assessment roll amounted to $31,272,350, prior to a reduction of $17,600 made by the Court of Revision through appeals. Oshawa and East Whitby Township exceeded their ob- jectives with subscriptions to- talling $1,538,200. Tough Seventeen Whip Wilderness In Alaska By WARD T. SIMS TALKEETNA, Alaska (AP)-- Forty - two persons left their Michigan homes 3% years ago Ao do battle with the Alaska wil- derness. i . Their numbers have dwindled and endless toil and privation have taken their toll. But for the 17 Michigan '59ers who still live in the remote Susitna Val- ley, the wilderness has been licked. Shielding his eyes from a bright autumn sun and looking approvingly over 17 acres of ripening oats, Marino Sik put it simply: "We have found valley." . The calendar had just turned into 1959 when Sik and 41 others, including his. wife and small daughter, packed their possessions into cars, trucks, old buses and trailers and left their Detroit homes for Alaska. In the newest U.S. state, all 42 had high dreams of carving a homestead--and a new life-- from the dense birch forests and rich soil of the Susitna Val- lely, 80 miles north of Anchor- age, MANY DRIFT OFF The Alaskan wilderness was peace in our too big a hurdle for most of them, and they have Jong since drifted away, many back to the city life they once found dis- tasteful. -- ' Those who managed to stick it out found their days filled with work, improving their homesteads and trying to make financial ends meet. Under the Homestead Act the "59ers get their land free provided they build a dwelling on it, cultivate at least an eighth of their land (usually 120 acres) and live on it at least seven months a year for three years. Sik, lean and hard, is one of those still in the valley, along with his wife, young Lindy and Dino, who was born after Sik homesteaded on the Susitna. 'Also remaining from the orig- ina}. group are Gerald and Bertha Donaldson; Ray and Bernice Kula; Nick Rubino, his wife and son; Steve Panewicz, his wife and son; Bill, Orzech- owski; Art Puchlik, Eric Eck- land, and Bob Watkins. The homestead are on the west side of the Susitna River about six miles west of Tal- keetna. NOT FOR EVERYONE Reminiscing in his trim, com- fortable log home, Sik said he OTTAWA REPORT Saskatchewan Dam Surprises Members By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Saskatchewan is certainly "worth a dam", in the view of a visiting group of members of parliament from other provinces, and represent- ing all political parties. Twelve MPs, from constituen- cies spread across Canada, were accompanied by four MPs from Saskatchewan, on a flying weekend tour from Ottawa, to inspect the South Saskatchewan Dam and to visit the 'friendly city'? of Moose Jaw. They were invited to attend the annual din- ner meeting of the Saskatche- wan River Development Asso- ciation there, before driving out to visit the Qu'Appelle Valley and the dam site at Outlook: "I was swamped with appli- cations from Mps who wanted to join the trip," Mr. C. 0. (Tim) Cooper, MP for Rose- town-Biggar, told me. As long- time vice - president of the SRDA, dam-fan Cooper was or- ganizer of the trip. But as he explained, the size of 'he visit- ing party was restricted by the capacity of the airplane which flew them on the 3,000 . mile round trip. ONE GROWING COUNTRY "The trip, and what we saw, impressed me immensely with the national unity of Canada," Mr. Bert Leboe, Social Ciedit MP for the Cariboo, B.C., said to me. 'The dam will make an enormous difference to west- central Saskatchewan, facilitat- ing agriculture and providing recreational amenities. Its the biggest project now under con- struction in Canada, and of course costs a lot of money; but imaginative great develop- ments like that represent money wisely spent." The four-party group of par- liamentarians were obviously impressed by the magnitude of this development, when they heard the on-site description of the man-made lake 137 miles long, and with a shoreline of 475 miles. Several told me that, having seen the project and the terrain, they did not agree with the judgment of former Liberal governments 'that "Saskatche- wan is not worth a dam". The lone lady among the visit. ing burgesses, Mrs. Margaret Macdonald, MP for Kings County, P.E.I., was one of those who had never seen our prairies before. Her womanly eye quickly Spotted the great contrast be- tween the immense flat plains and her own tiny, manicured province: "They -have very lovely farms on the prairies,' she remarked. "And I never saw so much farm machinery. At one farm we visited there was so much machinery and equipment that I thought we had come to a dealer's yard." The huge wheat farms scat- ter the homes very much fur- ther apart than on the small mixed. farms of P.E.J, Mrs. Macdonald noted. They must find life very lonely on the big empty prairies, she thought. Even in her brief visit, Mrs. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov, 13, 1962... The 'Canadian' Pilgrim" airliner with 58 persons aboard, mostly from Que- bec Province, crashed in flames in the French Alps with total loss of life 12 years ago today--in 1950. The 51 passengers included Quebec Roman Catholic clergymen among a party of Holy Year pilgrims re- turning from Rome. The Canadian Skymaster air- craft failed to clear Mont L'Obiou by only six feet. 1936--Five drowned in the loss of tug Fred A. Lee in Lake Huron. 1942 -- British forces re- took Tobruk in a counter- offensive in the North Af- rica campaign. rd Macdonald found several Prince Edward Islanders happily and prosperously settled in Saskat- chewan: The Yeos from Prince county; Mr. Kennedy from Mur- ray Harbour; Mr. Matheson, who is active in the board of trade and the Legion; the Mac- leans and Mrs. Macpherson, she recalled. 11 AND BC LUSH A visitor from a riding far removed from P.EI., yet which shares with that island province the freedom from the need tor artificial irrigation, was David Pugh from 'Oliver, B.C.. This MP from the lush Okanagan valley was: "terribly impressed by the South Saskatchewan Dam; not only by the dam it- self, but by its secondary bene- fits in offering alternative land use, water supply for large communities, and recreational possibilities." While all the visiting MPs came to appreciate the full sig- nificance and value of the new dam, many of them were also amazed by what they saw on their visit to Moose Jaw,s $4,- 000,000 technica! institute now under construction, thanks to federal government aid for three-quarters of its cost. 'They were all astonished by the size of it," Ernie Pascoe, the MP for Moose Jaw, told me. The final treat for the visiting parliamentarians was 4 tasty lunch at the farm of Tim Cooper at Hawarden: And as a "thank you", the guests gave Mrs, Cooper a gift of an attrac- tive cut-glass vase, graciously pzesented 'on their behalf by Mrs. Margaret Macdonald. would not recommend home- steading for every one. "If you haven't the. will, you're wasting your time even thinking about it." Sik's day is an example. Morning chores precede an eight-hour day on a highway maintenance crew and the eve- nings are spent improving the homestead. During the long, sunlit summer days,. he works an average of 19 or 20 hours. The Siks have some 50 chick- ens, 10 rabbits, a cow and a calf. All demand daily attention, particularly during the bitterly cold winters when the tempera- ture often skids to 40 or 50 de- grees below zero. ' Last summer the Siks had a healthy garden providing toma- toes, radishes, lettuce ad peas. What couldn't be used was canned for winter by .Sik's pretty wife, Carol.' : The other 59ers planted sma' gardens, too. -- Moose and caribou meat also find their way into the diets of the '59ers, along with 'grouse, salmon and trout. a WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Timmins Pess: The opening of the international bridge at Sault Ste. Marie removes a border point bottleneck which had operated with ever increas- 'ing intensity to impede traffic and frustrate drivers and others desirous of crossing the boun- dary between Ontario and Mich. igan there. It has been a long time coming, and an even long- er time projected, but the bridge is here at last. Under the new conditions there will be no delays beyond the routine halts imposed by customs and immigration regu- lations on both sides of the St. Mary's River. The process of crossing into Canada and go- ing into the United States on business or pleasure will be ac- clerated and brought into line with modern traffic require- ments, The bridge will be a gateway into these parts of Northeastern Ontario and a heavier flow of tourists may be anticipated as one result of its erection. Such an impact has been foreseen by sundry public and business bod- ies of the district and they have been taking steps to make this region attractive to the greater number of visitors certain to come this way. In a more leisurely age it was an interesting experience and, indeed, a welcome break in a road trip to find a ferry had to be used to close a high- way gap such as that at the Soo. As with so many compulsory conveniences which served their day, that method is outdated, It simply cannot cope with a volume of traffic getting stead- ily heavier. Bridges are important links in highways. The roads themselves rate equal concern, Before the flow of tourists in this direction can be expected to reach sub- stantial proportions, consider- able work remains to be done to bring Highway 101 in the Chapleau-Foleyet regions up to a good standard for travel. The provincial authorities owe it to the area to take appropriate ac- tion. Tourists won't travel on bad roads. And we want tour- ists. QUEEN'S PARK Milk Situation Remains In Mess BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The mi'k situa- tion in the province is still in a mess. Attempts to develop. unity through a provisional farm mar- keting board \have failed. The board has said it can't do the job and has broken up. I am not going to try and clarify the background of the overall milk problem. Even to people who have cows in the barn it is complex. However, as a layman's par- tial explanation this is offered: At present some dairy prod- ucts such as butter are being over-produced. : Others, such as _ cheddar cheese, can't get enough milk to meet their potential markets. For some years now there have been attempts to a balanced marketing. This would sell the output of all 70,000 producers in the prov- ince through a common agency. It would route the milk to the four 'markets -- fluid, concen- trated, cheese and cream. This would ensure that all had sufficient supplies and would be a protection against over-pro- tion in any one. It would also tend to stabilize prices and bring up the price level for those producing :n the present surplus markets. EFFICIENT SUFFER? would improve if a general marketing program could be in- stituted, And eventually it may come to a question of force. There already is the threat of the elimination of present subsi- dies. And distasteful as force is to government -- particularly when dealing with farmers--the program may be so necessary this will have to be resorted to, European countries and the U.K. have central marketing now. , exTRair/ CHANEL PARIS Agreement as to the program | has never been reached within ; any one field, however, let alone a combination of all four. Behind this largely is the fact that the efficient and reasonably. large producer is afraid that he might ventually suffer from the program. Though it has been proposed that he should be protected, he has a fear that his price may go down as the price of the marginal producer rises.
