iP hil I Py ih A AL a ae 'She Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Provinces Rush To Get Elections Out Of Way Manitoba becomes the fourth pro- vince to calla 'general election long before the expiration of the govern- ment's normal term of office. There is a possibility that Ontario could be the fifth. Quebec led the parade when Premier Lesage; after only two years in power, said he wanted to go to the people. on the issue of nationalization of electric power in the province. Newfoundland's Premier Smallwood -- or should it be Premier Small- wood's Newfoundland? -- used an aid-to-fisheries scheme as an excuse to call an election more than a year before he needed to. Prince Edward Island followed, and now Manitoba, where Premier Roblin says his gov- ernment has completed the program 'pledged before the last election and mow seeks a mandate for a new pro- gram. There, is persistent talk around Queen's Park to the effect that Premier Robarts will call an early election. Why this rush to the polls by the provinces ? We think the best answers. can be found in Ottawa, in the political situ- ation on Parliament Hill. The provincial governments that were considering elections next year would undoubtedly like to get their campaigns finished before the federal parties start stumping. the 'country. Another federal election campaign would leave slim pickings for the provincial parties. The provincial Conservatives would also like to get their battles fought before the federal contests, just in case of a federal Conservative de- backle, which could have a pretty depressing effect on their own for- tunes. Premier Lesage may be looking ahead to a change in the federal Liberal leadership. If Mr. Pearson fails to win enough seats to form a government in the next federal lec- tion, he will be out. -- there is no question about that.'Who would the Liberals look to for leadership? Where else but to Mr. Lesage, a winner in Quebec and. known nation- ally? Besides, there is the Liberal sequence: Laurier, Mackenzie King, St. Laurent, Pearson. It's Quebec's turn. Highway 401 Accident A magistrate's comment that High- way 401 is a "suicide highway" has stired quite a controversy. People who read of spectacular crashes along 401 are inclined to agree with the magis- trate, while highway and safety offi- cials disagree and back up their argu- ment with statistics. Deputy high- ways minister C. McNab, for example, claims that by any measurement there are fewer accidents per mile of vehicle travel on 401 than on any other provincial highway. The discussion seems to have obscured an iniportant point, how- ever, and the Sudbury Star brings it to our attention. Says the Star: "The details of the accident are interesting. The charged driver's car left the eastbound lane of the high- way, crossed the centre boulevard and struck a car in the westbound lane. Postmortems Richard Nixon has sung his politi- cal swansong -- and a pretty harsh tune it was. His political career is dead, killed by the voters of his home state, California. But it will be a while before observers of the U.S. political scene quit talking, writing and arguing about him, and this is understandable ;he was one of the most controversial figures in U.S. politics for more than a decade, and he came within a few thousand votes of being elected president. In a TV program last Sunday, he was described as "ruthless", "bril- liant", "self-serving" and "dedicated", Here is some newspaper comment: Atlanta Journal -- Mr. Nixon's rise 'was rapid and so was his fall. He had 'more flash than substance, a fact 'that neither the press, nor radio nor 'television, could keep hidden, even if 'they had tried. Chicago Sun-Times -- The mature man is-a gracious loser. Nixon was a 'bitter loser. We supported Nixon for the presidency in 1960, but we now say that the revelation of this defect in his character convinces us that it She Oshawa Fimes T. L.

The ex- planation given to the court was that traffic ahead stopped suddenly and the driver swerved into the middle strip to avoid -a rear-end collision. The accused said he was told the traffic stopped when two children crossed the highway. The magistrate is reported to have said the explana- tion could be true. "This would. appear to be one of those cases the attorney-general's department could take under review. Questions that arise are: Did the vehicles ahead stop safely and with- out accident? Did investigating police substantiate the reason that traffic stopped? Was the accused following too close or too fast to stop safely? What is the record of accidents in the section of the highway where the accident occurred?" On Nixon is fortunate he is not sitting in the White House today. New York Tribune -- The' Nixon valedictory was unfortunate. His not so fond farewell to reporters made it more awkward for those who appre- ciated his good works to respond with the farewells of fondness and respect Mr. Nixon deserves. His spoke at the press ("you won't have Nixon to kick around any longer") was acry, we are sure, of momentary anguish and not a sign that California's old pro is losing his combative spirit. Sault Lake City Tribune -- Mr. Nixon said he thinks it's time that newspapers have at least the same objectivity, the same fullness of coverage that television has. It is unfortunate that he failed to reflect that he might have been president if it had not been for television. Scripps-Howard Newspapers -- Un- der similar circumstances, Adlai Ste- venson could summon a smile and a quip. But Nixon, long on fight, is short on philosophy ... It is a sad thing to see a man lose -- especially to lose something he wanted so badly as Richard Nixon wanted high public office. As the shock wears off, he may reflect that he has really done very well: Representative in congress, senator, vice-president, Rpublican can- didate for president. Washington Evening Star -- He was no wholly lacking in' justification, for some segments of the press have treated him very shabbily. The real explanation of Mr. Nixon's failure .. . will be found in the man himself. Of Mr. Nixon, too many people were saying: "I can't bring mysef to vote for him. I don't know exactly what it is, but there's something about the man." . It was this "something'-- this personality trait -- that. has been responsible for the Nixon defeats. INDIAN ROPE TRICK REPORT FROM U.K. Scottish Industry Projects Planned By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times GLASGOW, Scotland -- With unemployment in Scotland at a level three times as high as the average for the whole of the United Kingdom, authorities responsible for industrial de- velopment in this country are making great efforts to attract employment - giving industries to Scotand. 'That tlhese efforts are meeting with some measure of success was apparent from the announcement just made of three new big Scottish indus- trial projects which are under way. These three projects are a $6,000,000 synthetic rubber plant to be established at Grangemouth, on the Firth of Forth, a $4,500,000 dry dock to be built on the Clyde, and a $2,250,000 expansion of a Pais- ley firm of cornflower product manufacturers. The synthetic rubber plant at Granz?mouh is to be tsit for the International Synihetic Rub- ber Company of Southampton. This company has been given é a YOUR HEALTH Health Checku Ps Before Marriage By Joseph G. Molner, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: I am to be married to a man who has five brothers with TB or something else, but not with him or his five sisters. Do you think we could have children without anything being wrong with them? Mom and dad don't think so, and don't want me to marry him.--B.R. In my opinion, all young peo- ple should do a little thinking about such things before mar- riage. I don't say that it is either wrong or unwise to marry someone with a health defect, but you should know what you are doing. In this particular case, the "TB or something else" is a pit vague. What are the '"'something elses"? TB, of course, is not inherited. It is contagious, and is spread by transmitting the germ from person to person.. Several cases of TB in one family indicate that they may have gotten ii from the same source, or one member may have given it to the others. It's a firm rule of public health that when one member of a family is found to have the disease, the others, as well as any close friends or associates, should be tested for TB, and watched for a time to make sure they don't get it--and keep on spreading it, too. TAKE CHECKUP See that the young man has a thorough physical examination, most definitely including a chest X-ray, for any sign of TB, plus w some othér tests, A urinalysis, which is a simple and inexpen- sive test, is one. Others might depend on what diseases his brothers have. The doctor couid readily decide that. The existence of five healthy sisters would indicate that the family stock isn't too bad. If the young man passes such an ex- amination, I can't see any rea- son to worry. If, on the other hand, the test. shows some chronic, or possibly chronic, condition, he can benefit by knowing about it now. [here are many health conditions which, if you find them out early, can be controlled, out are devastating if you don't know about them or ignore them. The "blood tests" required be- fore you can get a marriage li- cense in most states, are aimed only at venereal diseases. They are a good thing. But I feel most certain that it is wise for all young people who are planning to be married to have general but very careful physical examinations. As a believer in the idea that laws can't regulate everything, and that anyway it's better for people to accept all the reason- able responsibilities they can for themselves, I can't say I think this ought to be enforced by law. But I certainly do think that we ought to encourage the idea of knowing about the health of our life partners--and letting them know about ours. It's a two-way street. Dear Doctor: Many people eat the skins of baked | potatoes claiming they contain valuable vitamins and minerals. Is ther? anything to this theory?--V.T.G. It's not a theory--it's so The skins contain useful minerals. They'd be present in raw po- tato peelings, too, as far. as that's concerned. Not a Jot, but some. Dear Sir: What type of pillow hard, soft, foam rubber or other--is best to relax neck and shoulder muscles which are often tense? And for best sleep- ing generally?--A.H.S. This will vary consideralby ac- cording to the thickness of the pillow. The only answer is to use the one which feels the best to you. (My choice is soft, but other people find a hard one bet: ter, and some prefer none.) 20-acre site py British Hydro- carbon Chemicals et Grange- mouth, and the two companies will' work in close association with each other. Because of the automated nature of the industry, it will involve employment for oniy about 100 new workers, but it is an important development because it is likely to attract allied industries to the Grange- mouth district. . The capacity of the plant, which is expected ts be in operation in about a year's time, is estimated at 10,000 tons of synthetic rubber a year. This will be produced chiefly for the domestic market in the United Kingdom. Plans are being developed for a new dry deck fer the dock- yard firm of Barclay, Curie and Company, at Eldera'ie on the Clyde. If they go ahead as projected, the company wiil then have a dry dock able to accommodate tankers of up to 50,000 tons deadweight, nearly twice the present capacity of the yard. Officials of the firm said that their No; 1-dry dock was.now 'neither long enough nor wide enough to hold modern vessels. In addition, one dry dock does not provide the. flexibility for dry-docking operations which is very necessary in an up-to- date ship-repairing yard. Ships up to 100,000 tons deadweight or more can be built on the Clyde, but when repairs are needed, ships of this size. have to be dry-docked either in England or Northern Ireland. The building of the projected new dry dock will provide an added voiume of work for the ship repair yard. The well-known firm of Brown and Polson, Paisley cornflour product manufacturers, is plan- ning an addition to its plant of a new building covering 60,000 square feet. This project will also mean more jobs for Scot- tish workers, although the firm is not prepared at the moment to estimate how many. The new building, for which plans' have been submitted to the Paisley authorities, is expected to be completed before the summer of 1964.

To get some an- swers to this question, I sought the opinion of two veterans of the placid previous Partiament who are again Members. "All in all, this is the best Parliamet I have known of or sat in," declared H. Badanai, Liberal MP for Fort William. "It is certainly 100 per cent bet- ter than the last Parliament. As for personalities, the Social Credit group contains some ex- cellent orators, and the Liberal party in doubling its size here has acquired a lot of new po- litical talent." In the first debate, Liberal hopes for an early election made the votes into a life-and- death struggle for the minority Conservative Government, In the second phase, Liberal and NDP spokesmen attacked the new Speaker of the House, Hon. Marcel Lambert, when he in- sisted that the Commons should return to observance of the rules of debate after five years time - consuming | laxity, Thirdly, we held our breath while real life or nuclear death decision centred around Cuba. Then there was the _ fourth phase, culminating'in a stormy evening when the Liberal MPs voted in favour of Social Credit "funny money" in a desperate but dashed endeavour to over- throw the Government. TOIL BEHIND. TINSEL But behind these exciting headlines, the humdrum work of Parliament has been going on too.

With insurance generally in a controversial state in the prov- ince today, partly through the discussion of medicare, the auto insurance industry has reported there will be another increase in rates--and indicated. there could be even more. For some years now there has been strong support here for compulsory insurance. The NDP wants it--and wants it as a public plan. The Liberals also have en- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 14, 1962 . , Stanley Baldwin's Con- servative government was returned to power in a Brit- ish general election 27 years ago today--in 1935.

PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A cultist says death is imag- inary. If so, it's strange that.a person who imagines he's dead ~ never changes his mind. The human race is often good for a laugh, but on second thought in many cases you feel more like crying. "Moonlight increases the amorous activity of lemurs." -- Newspaper filler. This is an- other item in support of the theory of evolution. dorsed it--and at least some of their members unofficially favor a government program. The goverment to date has stood firmly against it. But' one would say the writ- ing has started to appear on the wall. LONG STRUGGLE There has been a long strug- gle between the government and the auto insurance industry on rates. Back in the 1930s a section of the Isurance Act (339) which would give the government the authority to set rates was ap- proved by the legislature. The section has never even been proclaimed. But it has been a big club over the head of the industry ever since--and one that has been used from time to time. The club is there and quite conceivably could be used as such again, or even put into force and an adjustment of rates ordered. EXPERIENCE HERE But certainly the opposition members, and possibly sections of the public, would hardly be satisfied with even this, The public relations of the in- surance industry have been la- mentable, and it is not loved. There has been considerable demand by both public and press for compulsory insurance. And it would hardly be satis- fied with only rate control. Most telling of all could be our experience here in Ontario with public insurance. Our prime example, and pride is the workmen's compensation . program. When you compare the amount of the insurance dollar paid out by it with similar pri- vately-run schemes in the U.S. the contrast in favor of public insurance is dramatic. Authors!

The criticised presiding offt- cer Speaker Lambert, receives a deserved accolade from "Bert" Badanai, although some of his Liberal colleagues have clobbered him. "He looks like a Speaker; he acts like a Speaker; he is im- pressive; and he is doing right in enforcing the rules which Parliament made," said the Senior burgess from the Lake- head. "'He is a better Speaker than Michener was, and I think he is doing a good job. He has made the Question Period more temperate."' Mr. Badanai introduced an origial thought when he told me that 'even the cabinet mm- isters are nicer now'. "They have always been cour- teous and easy to approach,' he said. "But now they ure more friendly and less auto- cratic. All in all, from the prime minister down, they are doing. a good job," said Mr. Badanai. "But of .course I don't agree with all their policies. For example, it is my firm be- lief that in trade they are too protectionist. 1 am a stamch believer in freer trade through mutual agreements and lower tariffs. I believe in the creation of a North Atlantic community, which should also include the republics of South America." SPEAKER PRAISED AGAIN "The most significant change in this Parliamet," said David Pugh, Conservative MP for Okanagan Boundary, '"'is the new Speaker with his fair ap- proach. The previous Speaker permitted everything ta drag, without the curb of the rules equally applied. Look how in the last session the time consumed by the Liberals discussiz the supplementary s pending esti- mates dragged on to three times the normal duration. The Opposition had no respect at all for the previous Speaker; when- ever the Liberal front bench saw him rise to address them, they turned away and chatted to each other." Mr. Pugh and Mr. Badanai hold opposing views on the con- duct of President Kennedy in taking action against Cuba with- out consulting with his allies. "T agree with Kennedy's ac- tion," said Mr. Badanai. "But he should haev consulted his NATO allies first, or there is no more reality in our alliance." "Soon after the second World War ended, the Third or Cold War began and it still contin- ues between the western free nations and the communist countries," said Mr. Pugh. "All the western alliance is in con. stant threat. I feel that steps have to be taken on its own by the country affected, because time is of the essence and there is not time to consult sthers." Finally, Mr. 'Pugh praised his own fellows. "The Conserva- tives are a more cohésive unit now; it's like the Parliament of 1957-58. We are all workin; gether, working harder and by specialising in our homework we all know our subjects." Walmsley & Magill OFFICE EQUIP. LTD. 9 KING ST. E.
